MAYBE is a two-man cartooning team based out of Japan. According to
reports both members were born in 1984, and they broke into the
world of comics by debuing with indie publisher Okura Publishing in
2005. MAYBE would continue to work in the world of indie comics for
a few years, eventually making a name for themselves with Wani
Magazine's Comic Kairakuten.
In 2006 the pair broke through into the mainstream by getting
picked up by beloved shonen publisher Akita Shoten (publishers of
Black Jack). Starting in 2008 MAYBE moved into the realm of video
game design creating characters and background art for video game
producers RailSoft.
After nearly five years of journeymen work, the duo broke through
with their first hit series Dusk Maiden of Amnesia by SquareEnix.
The 10-volume horror series was an instant success and would
inspire an animated TV series and radio dramas of the same name.
Since then MAYBE has worked with major publishers - Kodansha and
SquareEnix - focusing on Japan's revitalized fantasy genre to great
success. Their other current title Tales of Wedding Rings is being
published in the US by CrunchyRoll.
