Ryo Hanada (June 15, 1987) is one of the rising stars of Japanese comics today. Winner of SquareEnix's 2012 Young GanGan Manga Award's Special Prize for her submission <i>BLIND</i>, she quickly caught the attention of bigger publishers. After a couple of years in self-publishing, in 2013 she made her professional debut with Kodansha's premiere manga magazine MORNING (publishers of mega-hits such as <i>Chi's Sweet Home</i>, <i>Drops of God</i>, <i>Vagabond</i>). Her first work for them was <i>Devils' Line</i>, which is already captivating audiences with its stunning artwork and interesting mix of the supernatural and modern-day espionage.

It was intense, dramatic, and had some funny points. -- Motif by Tanya The best supernatural stories hold a dark mirror to our society, and [Devils' Line] introduces a new type of sexual politics into the vampire genre. -- Megan Cavitt, PANELS
