Arina Tanemura (種村有菜), born in 12th March 1978 in Aichi, Japan. She is a Japanese manga artist who does mainly Shojo manga. Her first debut work was a one-shot chapter entitled The Style Of Second Love which pubilished in short-Tempered Melancholic. Her first full manga was I.O.N, released in 1997. Her works mainly released in Ribon Magazines, with series published in collected volumes by Shueisha.

Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne (神風怪盗ジャンヌ) was her first series of Shojo manga that i read when i was about 13 years old, thats why i couldn’t stop draw and even chose art and design as my critria. She is the first Manga artist who can influent me this much when I was little. I am still love the way she draws. The figures that she draw is wonderful, even the characters costomes are so unique and in detail. Her drawing looks really confident as you can see her sketches, and her painting. She uses pencil for the sketches, then she use pantone Colour pen, water colour, ink ball-point pen, prints etc. She also is one of the artist that i really love and inspire.
