Very little is publicly known about Ryu Mizunagi but the author's birthday is March 23rd. Originally from Aichi, Mizunagi won the Kodansha Four Seasons Manga Award in 2004 with the pilot for Witchcraft Works. Mizunagi was able to continue the project through Kodansha Japan in 2006.
“Ryu Mizunagi’s clearly created quite a complex world for the series, with organizations, deep lore and more... Her detailed character designs and backgrounds provide ample eye candy.” —Sequential Ink
