Suu Morishita

Suu Morishita is a Japanese manga artist known for her works such as "A Sign of Affection," "Like a Butterfly," and "Yubisaki to Renren." She is part of a mangaka duo where Makiro is responsible for the story and Nachiyan for the illustrations. Morishita's manga "A Sign of Affection" was adapted into a TV anime in January 2024.
