Comics Artist from Taiwan: Kinono

Kinono

Kinono graduated from the Department of Communications Design, Shih Chien University. Kinono’s art style is meticulous and soft, and cute British boys and girls are often seen in Kinno’s work. Skilled in bringing out the atmosphere of children’s fairy tales through his meticulous comics work, the story’s development always causes the reader to be surprised, and they cannot help but smile in their hearts. Even if the subject of work is a witch, the comic is still full of warmth. Every year Kinono creates one to two works, and continues to join in on activities with fellow artists. In 2008, Kinono won the secondary prize at the Kodansha Morning International Comic Competition. Soon after, in a supplemental issue of Morning (Kodansha) and Creative Comic Collection (published by Gaea), Kinono published a series of short works.
