“Utsutsune: A Third-Party Perspective:”
「経歴と作風」
中年に差し掛かった2023年、何の脈絡もなく漫画を描き始める。SNSを中心に極めてマイペースに活動を続けている。
作風は日常をモチーフとした超短編マンガである。一見すると侘しく地味な漫画である。しかし、何気ない日常の狭間を切り取るHSP的感性、リアリズムの漫画表現、中年ならではの諦念とブルースじゅくじゅくの味わいがじわじわと評判を集める。
最近は、SNS以外にも紙媒体(Zine、フリー漫画ペーパー)やフライヤーイラストの制作など制作活動の場をのそりのそりと広げつつある。
「うつつ寝の生態」
その名の通りよく寝る。しかし、いわゆるロングスリーパーではなく、こまめに寝る。そして、まめに食べる。1日に3回の食事と3回のおやつは欠かさない。粗食指向で「米はごちそう」とのたまう。さらに、甘党でチョコレート依存症。
唯一の運動源は自転車。ペダルを漕いでいると気分がアガるらしい。「自転車は人類最良の発明」と豪語する。
性格は極めて温厚だが、羞恥心と警戒心が強く外出するとささいな刺激ですぐ焦る。一方、家の中、特に布団の上では、スマホ片手に重役のように落ち着きはらっている。呑気で優しい内弁慶。
” Biography and Artistic Style”
In 2023, having reached middle age, she suddenly began drawing manga without any particular reason. Since then, she has continued her creative work at her own pace, primarily through social media.
Her style focuses on ultra-short manga pieces depicting everyday life. At first glance, her works may seem quiet and subdued. However, her HSP-like sensitivity, which captures the subtle in-between moments of daily life, along with a middle-aged sense of resignation and a slow-burning, bluesy undertone, has quietly gained her a growing following.
She draws inspiration from classic manga artists such as Yoshiharu Tsuge, whose introspective and quietly surreal storytelling resonates with her own sensibilities.
Recently, she has been slowly expanding her creative activities beyond social media, venturing into printed media such as zines and free manga papers, as well as accepting illustration commissions for flyers and other small projects.
“The Ecology of Utsutsune”
True to her name, she loves to sleep—but she’s not exactly a long sleeper. Rather, she naps frequently throughout the day. She also never misses her three meals and three daily snack times. While she doesn’t drink alcohol, she has a strong sweet tooth that borders on addictive.
A bicycle lover. He may not show it on his face, but cycling seems to put him in high spirits. It’s his only form of exercise, and he proudly claims, “The bicycle is the greatest invention of humankind.”
She is extremely gentle by nature, but also highly cautious and easily overwhelmed by minor stimuli when out in public. At home, especially when tucked in bed, she is calm and composed, lounging with her phone in hand like an executive at rest. A mellow and kind-hearted introvert.
