Mentamanta
Illustrator / Picture Book Author
Quirky yet cute illustrations that brings a gentle pause to a stressful world.
I work mainly with character and people illustrations for books, magazines, web media, TV shows, and others.
In July 2025, I made my debut as a picture-book author with “Silky Corn Is Not Old” (KODANSHA).
My first picture book has been published!
“Silky Corn Is Not Old” published by KODANSHA.
Silky Corn, a first-grader with a mustached face, goes on a big adventure!
A slightly silly, quirky, and heartwarming mustache story.
My Shop “Metamota Knick-Knacks”
A collection of quirky-kawaii goods featuring Silky Corn and other original characters by Mentamanta.
Gentle, quirky little comforts for your everyday life.
