Konohana Sakuya
is the alias of the working partnership between two comic artists,
Kohei Nishino and Tsugumi Nishino.
In 2002, the duo was awarded the Grand Prize of the 1st World
Manga Faithful Readership Award, sponsored by publisher Shinchosha,
which received much coverage for the total sum of its prizes--100
million yen (about $9 million)--and the fact all winners were
voted entirely by readers.
The winner of the above prize, "Encounters,"
was serialized in the weekly Comic Bunch magazine until
October 2003. The series was given the jury's choice award by
the Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan in the Manga Category
of the Media Arts Festival Awards for fiscal 2003.
Since August 2004, the duo has had its latest work, "The
Lights," serialized in the monthly version of the
Shonen Jump magazine.
