Homura Kawamoto (Japanese: 河本ほむら, Hepburn: Kawamoto Homura) is a Japanese manga artist and writer. After publishing manga anonymously, he launched his first series, Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler, in 2014, which has achieved commercial success. Following Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler's success, Kawamoto has been involved with many other manga, anime, and video game series, such as Cheat Slayer, Build Divide, and High Card.

Biography

Kawamoto began working as a manga artist in 2009, when he began posting manga to the Nitosha manga website under the pen name Gyūnyū (牛乳, "milk").[2] In 2014, he launched his first series, Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler, in Gangan Joker.[2] The series has performed well, with over five million copies in print.[3] The series has also received multiple adaptations, notably an anime television series.[4] A spin-off, titled Kakegurui Twin, was launched in 2015.[5]

In 2021, Kawamoto launched Cheat Slayer in Monthly Dragon Age. However, following the release of the first chapter, readers began to notice similarities to other popular series. This eventually lead to Cheat Slayer being canceled after one chapter.[6] Kawamoto later apologized on Twitter.[7]
