Posuka Demizu (出水ぽすか, Demizu Posuka^?) debuted as a manga artist with the 2013 CoroCoro series Oreca Monster Bouken Retsuden. A collection of illustrations, The Art of Posuka Demizu, was released in 2016 by PIE International. Demizu is currently known for illustrations for The Promised Neverland.

History

Posuka Demizu was born and lives in Tokyo, Japan. She emerged on the manga scene in 2008 with a mini-series for monthly manga magazine CoroCoro. She has worked on a wide range of projects with children’s magazines and video games companies. Notably, she has worked with animation studio JCstaff on the series Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo (The Pet Girl of Sakurasou) and illustrated a comic for the popular card battle Orca Battle.

Beginning in 2016, Demizu collaborated with author Kaiu Shirai on Yakusoku no Neverland (The Promised Neverland). The series started in issue 35 of Weekly Shōnen Jump (Shueisha). It follows Emma and her friends who try to escape the orphanage they grew up in after they find out the unsettling truth behind it. Originally, Shirai planned to write and draw, but his editor felt like Shirai’s style ‘didn’t do the script justice’ and would be too hard for Shirai to keep up the quality of both. And so Demizu joined the project. Shirai had seen Demizu’s art before and loved it, but before starting the series they created a one-shot called Poppy's Wish. The outcome was better than Shirai imagined.
