Biography

[edit]

Oshioshio is a native of Kanagawa Prefecture.[1] After graduating from art school, she worked for an advertising company, but left after about a year to pursue a career in illustration.[2] While working on doujinshi activities, she was invited by an editor at Houbunsha to make her debut as a commercial manga artist with Kamisama to Quintet,[2] a yonkoma manga depicting the campus life of art school students.[3] She also began serializing another manga, Sakura Maimai, in Comic Cune.[2] She later began serializing the comedy manga My Deer Friend Nokotan in Shōnen Magazine Edge  [ja].[4]

Through her editor at Comic Cune, Oshioshio was approached by an editor at MF Bunko J for her first light novel illustration: Noboru Okazaki [ja]'s Hime-sama, Sekai Horobu kara Gohan Tabete Ikimasuyo!.[2] Oshioshio, who had long admired light novel illustrator Kouhaku Kuroboshi, subsequently made her light novel illustration debut with the first volume in 2016.[2]

She is the character designer for Hololive Production VTuber Amane Kanata [ja] and Nijisanji VTuber Soraboshi Kirame.[5] Real Sound said that both character designs "are short and small-chested; these two points seem to be non-negotiable for Oshio, and even when the two of them later asked her to make them taller "make her bust bigger" or "make her taller," she refused every time".[5]

In 2021, she exhibited at the 10th edition of Sankei Shimbun Co., Ltd. [ja]'s Eshi100 [ja] exhibition.[6] In September 2022, her first solo exhibition, Seikō (青光, lit. 'Blue light'), was held at Pixiv Waen Gallery.[1] In February 2023, Ichijinsha released an art book on her work, Oshioshio Gashū: Ao no Hibi.[7]

Among her themes are illustrations of sad, crying girls,[2] as well as "conveying the emotions of characters, focusing on illustrations of fragile and delicate girls".[1]
