Tsukasa Fushimi (伏見 つかさ, Fushimi Tsukasa, born 1981) is a Japanese author of light novels. He made his debut in 2006 with the novel series Jūsanbanme no Alice. This was followed in 2008 by his well-known novel series Oreimo, which spawned a media franchise encompassing multiple manga, anime, and video game adaptations. In 2013, Fushimi began writing his novel series Eromanga Sensei which ended in 2022.

Career

[edit]

Originally from Chiba, Tsukasa Fushimi entered the first volume of Jūsanbanme no Alice into the 12th Dengeki Novel Prize in 2005. While the work did not win a prize, it survived through the third selection process and was ultimately published by ASCII Media Works under their Dengeki Bunko imprint in 2006 as Fushimi's debut work.[1] Following the end of Jūsanbanme no Alice with volume four in 2007,[2] Fushimi began writing the first novel of Oreimo, published in 2008.[3] Fushimi would go on to write 12 volumes in total of Oreimo, ending in 2013.[4] Over the course of the series, Oreimo spawned a media franchise encompassing multiple manga, anime and video game adaptations. Fushimi began his next novel series Eromanga Sensei in 2013.[5]

Writing style

[edit]

His debut work, Jūsanbanme no Alice, despite depicting a violent conflict between two of the female leads, Fushimi's editor Kazuma Miki has said that he enjoys the everyday comedy found within Fushimi's work,[6] and how amusing the male characters within his work interact with one another.[7] According to Miki, Fushimi is a writer who initially keeps backstory and setting to a minimum, and only after receiving feedback from his editors and readers does he integrate it into his work.[8][9]

Fushimi has stated that he prefers tall female characters,[10][11] and that the height of the characters in his writings is a reflection of this.[10] In particular, Fushimi cites Saori Makishima, a 180 centimeters tall junior high school girl character in Oreimo, as his favorite character.[11][12] Fushimi states, however, that he does not give preferential treatment to characters based on his personal tastes.[12] For example, he revealed that he intentionally depicted the central heroine of Oreimo, Kirino Kōsaka, as a detestable person.[12][13]

Fushimi has also stated that Kirino is a character he dislikes but needs to be there to "pull the story along",[13] and he also revealed his personal theory that the critical evaluation of characters from readers also reveals how well they made an impression.[14] When analyzing reader surveys, Fushimi says that he judges the popularity of certain characters by counting negative reviews as half as much as a positive review, and explains that characters with different likes and dislikes can be turned into favorable results if handled well.[14]

In Oreimo, the story is focused on the relationship between a brother and a sister, and within the work, the main character repeatedly complains about the hardships of having a sister and hopes that the reader would agree with him. However, Fushimi says that he himself does not have a sister and that this aspect of the character was purely drawn from his imagination.[15]
