Musubi Onigiri
Description
Musubi Onigiri is a manga artist recognized as the original creator of the anime and manga series I Want to Be His Prey. Information about Onigiri's personal background, including their real name, date of birth, and career history outside of this specific work, is not available in public records.
Onigiri is credited as the writer and illustrator of the original manga I Want to Be His Prey, known in Japanese as Ookami-san wa Taberaretai. The manga was published digitally in English by the platform Coolmic. The work earned Onigiri the Anime Festa Comic Grand Prix, an award recognizing excellence in digital manga.
The story centers on a reserved student named Hinako Okami who feigns victimhood to lure her gym teacher, Tatsumi Akazu, into a compromising situation. After a skirt thief incident, Akazu escorts Okami home, only to discover she has orchestrated the scenario to be alone with him. The narrative follows the resulting romantic and moral tension between the student and teacher. The series has been described as an adult romantic comedy with a twist on the Little Red Riding Hood premise.
The manga was adapted into a three-episode anime television short in 2020. The anime was produced by the animation studio Peak Hunt. Each episode runs approximately seven minutes in length. The series originally aired in Japan beginning September 6, 2020. The ending theme song, Koi no Ōkami (Wolf of Love), was performed by Saki Hazuki. The Japanese voice cast includes Iroha Haruno, Yō Suzushiro, Kazuma Hoshino, Hajime Kamijō, Ion Momoyama, and Marimo Yuuki, with Musubi Onigiri also receiving a voice credit in the production.
In November 2023, Ascendent Animation announced they had acquired the series for English distribution. The company produced an English dub directed by Sean Tay, with Amanda Parker voicing Hinako Okami and John Patneaude as Tatsumi Akazu. The English version was released on Blu-ray and made available for digital streaming. The Blu-ray release includes uncensored episodes with commentary tracks, storyboard animatics, and the original English trailer.
The recurring themes in Onigiri's work center on power dynamics in romantic relationships, particularly the subversion of expected roles where a seemingly vulnerable character actively pursues control over a situation or another person. The artistic identity of Musubi Onigiri is defined by adult-oriented romantic comedy narratives with dramatic tension and ecchi content. The work blends comedic moments with passionate storylines and relationship-focused drama.
Musubi Onigiri holds significance within the industry primarily as a digital-first creator whose work successfully transitioned from web manga publication to anime adaptation. The recognition from the Anime Festa Comic Grand Prix indicates a level of achievement within the digital manga space. The international licensing and English dub production by Ascendent Animation demonstrate the cross-market appeal of Onigiri's work. The copyright for the series is held by Musubi Onigiri and Suiseisha Inc., reflecting standard industry publishing and rights arrangements for manga adaptations.
