Little is known about Mitsuhisa Kuji (born in 1978) however we are certain that is a penname for an interesting young female artist with one of the finest pedigrees in Japanese comics. While Wolfsmund is her debut series, originally published in Japan
by enterbrain!, she has been in the industry at least since 2004, mainly working on short
stories with hopes to someday have her own feature length seres. But before she began
working on her own short stories, she was the assistant illustrator for two of the biggest
names in comic art - Kentaro Miura (author of the best-selling series BERSERK) and
Kaoru Mori (creator of the Victorian maid drama, EMMA). Since her debut work, Samurai Dream, she has gone to draw a handful of other shorts, collected in a book
called Luminous & Brightness, before launching Wolfsmund to critical acclaim in 2009.
