Biography
Kotomi Aoki is a Japanese manga artist and screenwriter born January 7, 1980, in Japan. She resides in Matsuyama, Ehime. Her breakout moment came in 2008 when the Shogakukan Manga Award committee recognized *Boku no Hatsukoi o Kimi ni Sasagu* as a standout shōjo manga, cementing her voice in romance storytelling. The manga *Kanojo wa Uso o Aishisugiteru*, first released in 2013, proved so compelling that Aoki remade it in 2017—a rare creative choice. Both versions attracted adaptation: the original spawned a 2013 Japanese film and the remake became a 2017 South Korean television series, demonstrating her appeal across borders and formats. As a screenwriter and visual storyteller, Aoki operates in the manga and adaptation space—a discipline requiring narrative precision and visual economy. Born under Capricorn, her life-path number 8 reflects mastery of structure and legacy-building—fitting for an artist whose work sustains multiple incarnations. Japan's manga industry values artists who can sustain emotional arcs across serialized chapters; Aoki's body of work suggests that capability.
