Julietta Suzuki

Julietta Suzuki, born December 6, 1980, in Japan, is a manga artist best known for her romantic-comedy fantasy series *Kamisama Kiss* and the earlier *Karakuri Odette*. Both titles were serialized in Hakusensha's *Hana to Yume* magazine, a home for shojo manga. Suzuki's path into comics began with her debut in that same magazine, and she quickly established a style blending supernatural elements with warm, character-driven humor. Her signature work, *Kamisama Kiss*, follows a homeless high school girl who becomes a local deity, and it became a breakout hit, spawning an anime adaptation. Suzuki's art is recognized for its expressive, clean lines and ability to balance comedic beats with tender romance. She collaborated closely with her editors and assistants at *Hana to Yume* to maintain the series' long-running charm. Beyond *Kamisama Kiss*, she created *Otaku Vampire’s Love Bite*, which also appeared in English translation. Later in her career, Suzuki continued to produce work for *Hana to Yume*, and her influence is seen in the enduring popularity of *Kamisama Kiss* among international readers. She has not received major industry awards, but her series remain beloved for their heartfelt storytelling.
