As we come to the end of 2023, we’re currently working on the final Waypoints manga of the year — a Christmas story we’re releasing online on December 14. Today, I want to introduce you to the artist for this story, a new collaborator, Masumi Noda.
Masumi Noda is a Japanese artist who studied Nihonga (a Japanese style of painting) at Kyoto Seika University. After working as a designer at a publishing company, she became a freelancer, working on book illustrations, caricatures, design, and manga.
