Mizuru Nito

Global hit game creators Keiji Inafune, Koji Suzuki and Yumeaki Hirayama team up with Mizuru Nito, the genius author behind the highly praised debut work “LIBIDO”, to introduce a new sensation entertainment novel.

The original concept was honed over many years by Keiji Inafune, a man active in a wide variety of entertainment. Mizuru Nito took this idea and reinterpreted it with the hand of a novelist, fashioning the concept into this new work.
