    Ahh,
    So that’s his other work. I’ve seem a majority of these pictures, but I didn’t know they were all made by the same ero-mangaka.

    There seems to be some repeats.

    Great art. Some of them remind me of the art style of Welcome To The NHK.

    I left in some different versions of the same images for completeness.

    Are you sure all the Kamichu! pics are Naru-sensei’s? I know he did the manga, but I don’t think he did the other stuff pertaining to the anime.

    My understanding was that he was in charge of character design?

    It’s a her. The artist is a woman.

    Scratch that. It looks like it’s not. The name does make him sound like a female.

    A lot of people make that mistake, even some Japanese. He is definitely male, however.

    It’s just like how many people initially thought that Azuma kiyohiko (of Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba!& fame) was female because he wrote his name in hiragana only.

    His futanari manga are also excellent, especially the non-ero Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa. And then there’s the catgirl eromanga Nene, which last I checked was still on hiatus after 10 chapters. Can anyone confirm or deny it?

    The difference between the names Kiyohiko and Naruko being mistaken for female names… well, Hanaharu Naruko’s first name is written with the -ko suffix that is common in girls’ names, whereas in Kiyohiko the functional component is -hiko, a common suffix in male names.

    As a side note, I support calling gender-swapped Suzumiya Haruhi ‘Haruhiko’. It’s neat when the generic “add -ko at the end” method works both ways.
