Konohana Sakuya is the alias of the working partnership between two
comic artists, Kohei Nishino and Tsugumi Nishino.
In 2002, the duo was awarded the Grand Prize of the 1st World Manga
Faithful Readership Award, sponsored by publisher Shinchosha, which
received much coverage for the total sum of its prizes--100 million
yen (about $9 million)--and the fact all winners were voted entirely
by readers.
The winner of the above prize, "Encounter," was serialized
in the weekly Comic Bunch magazine until October 2003. The series
was given the jury's choice award by the Cultural Agency in the Manga
Category of the Media Arts Festival Awards for fiscal 2003.
Since August 2004, the duo has had its latest work, "The Lights,"
serialized in the monthly version of the Shonen Jump magazine.
