Kentaro Miura’s personal life
Kentaro Miura was born on July 11, 1966, in Chiba, a prefecture in Japan. He won the Shonen Magazine Newcomer Manga Award in 1985 and the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2002. During middle school, Kentaro illustrated his second manga, The Way to the Sword, using Indian ink, a black ink that was used for medical applications in the past.
Miura was admitted to the Art College of Nihon University. He submitted his first manga, Futatabi, during the project submission, which impressed the college administration, who accepted his admission application form. He also won an award for that; from there, he made a name for himself in every manga association and publishing house.

The character having a long sword is the main highlight.
