Johji Manabe

Johji Manabe (真鍋譲治) is a Japanese manga artist born 18 December 1964 in Japan.

He is not to be confused with an animator of the same name (but written differently, 真鍋譲二), who worked mainly in the 1970s for Oh! Production: A Dog of Flanders, Genshi Shounen Ryû, Marco, Dokonjō Gaeru, King Arthur, Galaxy Express 999, Lupin the 3rd: Season 1, Lupin the 3rd: The Castle of Cagliostro, Future Boy Conan (episodes 8-17 )...

Best known in the English-speaking world for Caravan Kidd, Outlanders and Capricorn, his later works are often pornographic in nature, though he was never exclusive to either adult or non-adult material.
