Naoki Urasawa
Naoki Urasawa is a renowned Japanese manga artist, celebrated for his mastery in crafting intricate thrillers. Born in 1960, he gained international acclaim with works such as 'Monster,' which tells the gripping story of a surgeon pursued by the child he once saved, who has turned into a notorious murderer.
