About the Author
Kuru has been a freelance artist, painter, and illustrator since 2008. She got closer to the French manga world by managing from 2010 to 2018 Manga Ink, her own store specializing in the sale of drawing materials specific to manga, crafts, hobbies, and fine arts materials, and a bookstore. This professional adventure offered her numerous opportunities, such as working in collaboration with Clairefontaine for the development of the Manga Paper range, and working with COPIC France, EIMA, CLIP STUDIO PAINT, Reno Lemaire, Mangadraft, and Fleurus ?ditions on various projects. Since 2021, she has been a manga drawing teacher, giving private lessons and leading workshops in manga drawing, storytelling, comic book creation, coloring with alcohol markers and introduction to CLIP STUDIO PAINT software. Throughout her career, she has had the opportunity to interact with people from all backgrounds: artists, authors, manga fans, apprentice designers, teachers, and it is through these encounters that she has expanded her artistic and educational background. She lives in the South of France.
