Shūhei Miyazaki

Description
Shuhei Miyazaki is a Japanese manga artist best known as the creator of the comedy series Me & Roboco. He began his professional career in the late 2010s, with his earliest known work being Oyakusoku no Neverland, a gag manga series based on The Promised Neverland, which was published in 2019. He also wrote and illustrated a one-shot titled Ginnan Girls in 2020 and contributed to the anthology One Piece 1000 Story Memorial in 2021.

Miyazaki is the writer and illustrator of Me & Roboco, which started serialization in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine in July 2020. The manga is a fantasy comedy set in a world where every household owns a maid robot. It follows a young boy named Bondo Taira and his powerful but clumsy OrderMaid, Roboco. As of early 2026, the series has been collected into over twenty-five tankōbon volumes. The manga is noted for its frequent parodies of other popular Weekly Shōnen Jump series, a trait reflected in its volume covers which often mimic iconic images from other manga.

The success of the manga led to an anime television adaptation produced by the studio Gallop. The series of twenty-eight short episodes aired on TV Tokyo from December 2022 to June 2023. An anime film based on the series premiered in Japanese theaters in April 2025. For these adaptations, Miyazaki is credited as the original creator.

Miyazaki's artistic identity is firmly rooted in gag comedy and meta-humor, primarily targeting a shōnen demographic. His work is characterized by its energetic pacing, absurdist situations, and a heavy reliance on references to and parodies of established manga and anime tropes and series. Me & Roboco represents his most significant industry contribution to date, establishing him as a creator of a long-running, commercially successful comedy series in one of the world's most prominent manga magazines.
