As Futatsuya
Description
As Futatsuya is a Japanese manga artist recognized primarily as the illustrator for the manga series My Roommate is a Cat. The series, which began serialization in June 2015 on Flex Comix's Comic Polaris website, is a collaborative work where the story is written by Minatsuki and the illustrations are drawn by As Futatsuya. The manga has been collected into multiple tankōbon volumes, with at least ten volumes released across various international editions.
The professional relationship between writer and artist is clearly delineated in official credits. On the anime adaptation of My Roommate is a Cat, which aired from January to March 2019, the production staff listing credits Minatsuki as the original creator while As Futatsuya is credited for the manga. This distinction establishes Futatsuya's role as the visual storyteller who brings the written narrative to life through illustration.
Beyond My Roommate is a Cat, As Futatsuya's published works include contributions to franchise anthologies. In 2017, Futatsuya worked on the Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- Anthology ~Ki no Jin~, serving in both writing and artistic capacities. Earlier work includes Colocataires à leur manière, a title released in 2015 for which Futatsuya provided the artwork. These credits suggest a creative range that extends from original manga series to collaborative anthology projects within established media franchises.
The anime adaptation of My Roommate is a Cat, produced by the animation studio Zero-G, brought Futatsuya's illustrative work to a broader audience. The series, directed by Kaoru Suzuki with series composition by Deko Akao, adapted the manga's depiction of a reclusive novelist and the stray cat who enters his life. The anime completed its twelve-episode run in March 2019 and has been made available through international streaming platforms.
International licensing has made As Futatsuya's work accessible to readers in multiple languages. The manga has been published in English, with German and French editions also available. These publications are typically credited with the original Japanese author-artist division maintained: Minatsuki as the writer and As Futatsuya as the artist. The sustained publication of the series across multiple volumes and languages indicates ongoing reader interest in the collaborative work.
