Publication's Chief Financial Officer.

About LINDA
A professional manga artist for over twenty years, LINDA was first published by Shobunkan in 1998. His development as an artist began taking shape in middle school with heavy influences from the fantasy illustrations of Nobuteru Yūki (Record of Lodoss War), Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (Gundam), and also from Dungeons and Dragons, and the novel Shadowlance. LINDA's works generally focus on beautiful, voluptuous, married women exploring adultery and the excesses of nightlife.

“I try to make an atmosphere that captures the girl, my own hidden sexual desires and fears. I like to express the complex ‘internal implications’ of characters when I draw them,” said LINDA when elaborating about his art style and creative motivations.

Highlights from LINDA's publishing career include appearances in Weekly Manga Goraku, Gorakuten, Penguin Club, Pizazz DX, and Young Animal Arashi. His works include "Fushitara", "Neorarezuma", and "Sekirara Kanojo". His most recent tankobon "Fushitara~ The reason my wife was unfaithful~4th volume" is planned to release in May 2019.
