Biographical Notes:

Tsutomu Nihei is an internationally known Japanese comic artist and draftsman. Born in 1971, Nihei made his debut in the comics world as the winner of the 1995 Afternoon Magazine Four Seasons Award for short stories. He then briefly worked as an assistant to veteran comicker Tsutomu Takahashi before making his break-through hit BLAME! (published by Tokyopop).

The BLAME! franchise was so well received worldwide, that it inspired an animated mini-series and eventually drew the attention of Marvel Comics in the US. Nihei would later go on to draw Wolverine (X-Men) and HALO comics for Marvel to great fanfare. An architectural student, Nihei’s early work were mainly wordless, relying on visuals and backgrounds to tell their stories. Now, his works are deeply rooted in hard science-fiction, as was seen in the multiple NY Times Bestselling books HALO: The Graphic Novel (published by Marvel Comics) and BIOmega (published by Viz Media).

Title Notes:

The Latest from an Internationally Respected Manga Artist: From the artist of Marvel Comics’ Wolverine: SNIKT and the HALO Graphic Novel comes a hard science-fiction coming of age tale of human survival and high school romance.

Fast-paced Science Fiction Action Inspired by a Generation of Games and Animation: As an homage to critically acclaimed sci-fi dramas such as Macross, The Fifth Element, No Need for Tenchi, and such video games as Halo, The Knights of Sidonia is a tightly written space opera that balances tragedy and comedy while never ignoring the action.

More and more of Nihei’s works have been released, and new releases in 2018 include APOSIMZ and Abara Complete Version.
