About the Author

Known among anime circles as the character designer for IRIA: ZEIRAM THE ANIMATION, Katsura is also a popular manga artist. His works, from the story of an unlikely superhero in WINGMAN to the saga of a girl who gains powers from magic eyeshadow in SHADOW LADY, display a quirky sense of humor and a fondness for O. Henry-like plot twists. Katsura is also celebrated in fan circles as an artist with a hand for lush screen-tones and an unparalleled eye for nubile young ladies, best noted in the shapely Iria-like bounty hunter in his manga D.N.A.2 (D.N.A. "squared").

Katsura's stories are a good blend of romance, good characterizations and very nice clean art! I"s is just another example of his talented way of keeping us, the readers, enthralled and willing to keep turning those pages. In other words, he is really good at pacing, illustration and showing emotion with his characters.

I started reading Masakazu Katsura with Video Girl. Honestly, I passed over his books several times after having picked a book up and skimming through it, simply because I'm a guy and I was impressed with the artwork. I come from the Illustration field. So I admired Katsura's artwork at first. I started reading I"s because of Video Girl. Though, like with Video Girl, if your a guy you may find it hard bringing these titles up to the cashier. Or you could just order them online and avoid ambarrassment altogther. Katsura's books always have lots of very well drawn eye candy and some sexual situations, merely alluring to more but, not shown (yet, as I've seen so far). So, be aware of that. If that doesn't bother you then I strongly recommend this series to you; even if your a guy!
