Hanaharu Naruko

Hanaharu Naruko (鳴子ハナハル) is a Japanese manga artist. He began his career in 2002 with the release of his first work, Hitai ("forehead"), in Comic Kairakuten. In 2005, he became artist for the Kamichu! manga. He has also published a hentai manga tankōbon.

In June 30, 2008, his first solo hentai comic, Shōjo Material was published by Wanimagazine. Upon its release, long queues were often seen on the first day which is highly unusual given that the manga in question contains pornographic content.

His work is characterized by mostly full-colored pages, realistically-drawn characters, and vivid backgrounds.
