Nobuyuki Anzai
Nobuyuki Anzai created a one-shot manga entitled, Ken 2 Strenger for the Shinjin Comic Taisho (Shogakukan Beginners Editions). Though it only landed him as an honorable mention in the contest, it did earn his debut to being a manga artist. In the late nineties to early 2000s, he created the story and art of Flame of Recca and MÄR. Due to the success of these manga series, he became well-known and got anime adaptations for both of these series.
