Transitions - Writer - Tsutomu Nihei



  • Tsutomu Nihei was born in 1971
  • Japanese manga artist. 
  • cyberpunk influenced artwork. 
  • Creator of Blame, Knights of Sidonia and Biomega
  • Studied Architecture and incorporates that into his work, designing large structures for futuristic cites/ships etc.
  • Likes to explore transhumanism.
  • Likes to write about post-apocolyptic dystopian societies
Tsutomu Nihei initially started work as an office worker, then a construction worker, he then moved on to writing his Manga books, in his work he tends to explore things like, huge structures, Post Apocalyptic worlds and Transgender/non-human pairings.

I like his progressive thinking regarding things like transgender and non-binary genders, I also appreciate how he works with large-scale structures and creatures, such as the Gauna and Sidonia in Knights of Sidonia.

The concepts I would like to take from his works are working with large scale ships/structures and his views regarding gender and sexuality.
