Masamune Shiro, the author of the enthusiast and popular "Centhusiasts", made a major debut in the science fiction manga "AppleSeed" in 1985, and started serialization of "Centhusiasts" in 1989. The worldview that foresaw the modern era of the information society, which incorporates advanced technologies that had not yet penetrated into the world at that time, with a unique sense, has attracted many people. The paintings drawn in detail, plots made of enormous information, and the words of the writer, which extends to the margins, give the work heat and stir the imagination of the reader. Many creators have been influenced by Masamune Shiro's worldview, which incorporates philosophical explorations, and continue to produce works in various genres.
