Born in 1984, in the artisan filled city of Shizuoka, Hikaru
Nakamura is one of the top selling manga artists today. Since 2001,
when she was only 16 years old, Nakamura was already making
headways in the world of manga. Her first series Nakamura Factory
was a mini-hit for Japanese publishers SquareEnix. She would follow
that up with Arakawa Under the Bridge, which would eventually be
adapted into an animated television series.
While Arakawa was her break-through, her next work Saint Young Men
would take her to a level of success not seen in Japan in years
Attack on Titan and Naruto in the process having sold more than ten
million units. Arakawa Under the Bridge is her English language
debut, but she has been published throughout Europe and Asia for
years.
“Arakawa Under the Bridge is a manga with a well-honed funny bone and a lot of heart [...] Underneath all its absurdity and gags is a story about family, acceptance, and choosing self over the pressures of a materialistic society.” — Anime News Network
