Information about Tsutomu Nihei

Tsutomu Nihei (弐瓶・勉 Nihei Tsutomu, born 1971) is a Japanese manga artist. His cyberpunk-influenced artwork has gained a strong cult following. He has a relatively large community of fans in Germany where his manga BLAME! and NOiSE were published by Ehapa. BLAME! was also published in France and Spain by GlÃ©nat and the UK by Tokyopop.
