Masakazu Ishiguro was born in Fukui Prefecture in 1977. An
multiple award winning artist, he broke though in 200 when we was
presented with the Afternoon Four Seasons Award for his work on the
short "HERO".
While he broke through within the sci-fi genre, Ishiguro is
possibly best known for his comedies; particularly the Japan
Media Arts Award winning And Yet the Town Moves (Shonen
Gahosha). Whimsical, stylish, and often surreal, Ishiguro's works
are often put into their own genre - SF (Slightly Fantastical).
Heavenly Delusion does many things, and it does them well. Ishiguro
makes great use of contrast particularly in building up atmosphere
and setting. All this is realized with delicate, detailed
linework, with what little shading is there done through
pen-and-ink techniques such as crosshatching. Its central
characters think and act and talk like human beings[...] One thing
it does not do, however, is give any answers. Not a single one.
[T]here are way too many unique storylines and elements set-up that
are fascinating to read, and it only begs for me to learn more. If
you’re in need of a sci-fi manga, you won’t be making a mistake
checking this one out.
