Kōsuke Fujishima (藤島康介, born July 7, 1964) is a Japanese manga artist.
Born in Chiba, Japan, he first came to public attention as an editor of Puff magazine, his first job after completing high school. Fujishima originally intended to be a draftsman, but took the editorial role after failing to get a drafting apprenticeship. He later became assistant to manga artist Tatsuya Egawa in the production of the Making Be Free! manga, and in 1986 began his first original manga series You're Under Arrest. His second manga series Oh My Goddess!, also translated as Ah! My Goddess, is extremely popular and has made Fujishima a household name in Japan. In addition, he is also well known as the character designer for several games in the Tales RPG video game series and Sakura Wars.
He is known for his love of automobiles and motorcycles, and several of his series and their characters reflect this, such as in éX-Driver and Oh My Goddess!.
The demon trials continue in this novel as the group works to repair what's been done to Nifelheim. Using various logical judgements and skills, the team manages to get past two doors and closer to Hagal.
The fight with Thyme showcases the abilities of the comic creator. There is some great action here and makes me want the artist to try a full shonen battle anime. It could feature a lot of great characters and maybe cross over to the Oh My Goddess series. Maybe someday.
Oh man, this was a wonderful volume! At first I was wary because super strength is very uninteresting to me for the second challenge, but Belldandy and Keiichi made it worth it.
I love those two and their devotion to each other so much!
