Former Shonen Jump artist Tetsuya Tsutsui gains international acclaim with his latest comic, a modern day cyber crime drama that tackles the topics of social media, internet celebrity and disinfranchised youth culture.
Tetsuya Tsutsui is unique within the Japanese manga world. While
his print catalog goes as far back as 2002, he in many ways is a
pioneer of Japan's long-form web-comic industry. While most
web-comics in Japan tend to be daily comic strips, Tsutsui's
background in serialized long-form comics, led him to continue
working within that medium online.
In 2004, Tsutsui published his first manga in France, called Duds
Hunt. This work was initially published online but then released
for the first time in print by French publisher Hachette. Since
then, Tsutsui has been working in Japan and in France creating
works that appeal to a very global audience despite often being set
in the Far East. Most of his works debut online now, where Tsutsui
gets instant commentary from his large readership. And now his
works are being recognized for transcending the limitations of
language and markets.
