Toshi Aoi

Description
Toshi Aoi is a Japanese manga artist known for their work as the illustrator of the fantasy series Wistoria: Wand and Sword. Written by Fujino Omori, the manga began serialization in Kodansha’s Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in December 2020 and has been compiled into multiple tankōbon volumes. The series follows a boy named Will Serfort, who possesses no magical ability but relies on exceptional swordsmanship to pursue his goals within a prestigious magical academy.

Aoi’s most significant and defining credit is as the artist for this series, with their visual work forming the basis for a broader media adaptation. An anime television series based on the manga premiered in July 2024, produced by studios Actas and Bandai Namco Pictures, with a second season announced to follow in 2026. The authorship of the original work is consistently credited to Fujino Omori as the writer and Toshi Aoi as the illustrator, establishing a clear division of creative labor for the property.
