Mitsuru Adachi
安達 充|Adachi Mitsuru|lead=yes|born February 9, 1951}} is a Japanese manga artist. After graduating from Gunma Prefectural Maebashi Commercial High School in 1969, Adachi worked as an assistant for Isami Ishii. He made his manga debut in 1970 with ''Kieta Bakuon'', based on a manga originally created by Satoru Ozawa. ''Kieta'' was published in ''Deluxe Shōnen Sunday'' (a manga magazine published by Shogakukan).Adachi is well known for romantic comedy and sports manga (especially baseball) such as ''Touch'', ''H2'', ''Slow Step'', ''Miyuki'' and ''Cross Game''. He has been described as a writer of "delightful dialogue", a genius at portraying everyday life, "the greatest pure storyteller", and "a master manga artist". He is one of the few manga artists to write for shōnen, shōjo and seinen manga magazines, and be popular in all three.
His works have been carried in manga magazines such as ''Weekly Shōnen Sunday'', ''Ciao'', ''Shōjo Comic'', ''Big Comic'' and ''Petit Comic'', and most of his works are published through Shogakukan and Gakken. He was one of the flagship authors in the new ''Monthly Shōnen Sunday'' magazine which began publication in June 2009. Two short story collections, ''Short Program'' and ''Short Program 2'' (both through Viz Media), have been released in North America, and Viz Media scheduled to begin publishing ''Cross Game'' in October 2010. The first volume was released on October 12.
He modeled the spelling of あだち (rather than 安達) for his family name after the example of his older brother, manga artist Tsutomu Adachi. In addition, it has been suggested that the accurate portrayal of sibling rivalry in ''Touch'' may come from Adachi's experiences while growing up with his older brother. Adachi did the character designs for the OVA anime series ''Nozomi Witches'', so he is sometimes incorrectly given credit for creating the original series. Provided by Wikipedia
