Information


Akina (明菜), is an illustrator and movie producer most notable for her Houkago Stride PV which achieved over a million views. She is also in charge of character designing as well as illustrating most of the Mikagura School Suite merchandise and novels.

Background

Akina is a pixiv artist who has participated in several pixiv yearbooks. She is known for her colorful illustrations, as well as flat-colored yet detailed style, which is often described as high-sense by many.[1]
In December 2012, following the Houkago Stride PV release, she was assigned to be the person in charge of illustrating the Mikagura School Suite series by Last Note..[2]
In the middle of making the Izayoi Seeing PV, her aviutl program crashed so hard they had to delay the release date from the end of summer to September 19th.[3] Recently, she made an ask.fm and tumblr account.

"Congratulations on Mikagura School Suite's third novel release! Sorry if there are so many unsightly things here and there since I'm in a rush... Thank you... Anyway, I'm really curious, why Kyoma-senpai who is actually good natured was lunged into Asuhi-kun in such a way.. Was he not in a good mood? I guess senpai's moodiness has caused a trauma for Asuhi-kun, huh."
