ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Born in 1968. Kouhei Kadono grew up uncertain about his direction in life. He spent a considerable portion of his early years frittering away his youth before somehow ending up writing novels.
In 1997, Kadono-sensei's first Boogiepop novel, Boogiepop and Others, took First Place in the Media Works’ Dengeki Game Novel Contest. Early the following year, the novel was released to widespread acclaim and ignited the Japanese “light novel” (young adult) trend. Since that time, Kadono-sensei has written thirteen Boogiepop novels and several related works such as the Beat's Discipline short story collections and the two Boogiepop manga series entitled Boogiepop Doesn’t Laugh and Boogiepop Dual, In its entirety. the Boogiepop series has seen over two million copies in print and spawned a live action movie and a hit anime series.
In addition to the Boogiepop universe, Kadono-sensei's body of literary work includes a wide array of fantasy aid mystery novels such as the Jiken, Soul Drop, Limited World and Night Watch series.
ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR
Born in 1970, a native of Osaka, Kouji Ogata spent his early twenties struggling to get enough credits to graduate from Design School. In late 1996, Ogata-sensei was commissioned by Media Works to illustrate the first Boogiepop novel, Boogiepop and Others.
At the time, Ogata-sensei was simply a rising star with a distinctive, eye-catching art style, but he gradually was able to further hone his artistic skills with each subsequent work. His watercolor-style paneling seen in the two- volume Boogiepop Doesn’t Laugh manga series was a particularly high point of his early career. In addition to providing illustrations for novels and manga, Ogata-sensei has been involved with supplying character designs for anime productions including Boogiepop Phantom, Spirit, and Gin-iro no kam no Agito. In his free time he enjoys motorcycles, tennis, and remote controlled models.
