I read somewhere that Kazuki Nakashima writes manga, but I don't really
believe that.

I mean, as shown in the ending credits for Sword Art Online, the man did the
colour setting (read it and weep, but that's what it says).

I also know that he plays big roles in the making of the two animes Tengen
Toppa Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill.

With that being said, I saw the guy as more of a anime type person than a
writer of manga.

But, my thoughts aside, **does Kazuki Nakashima** **_really_** **write manga**
, or is it not true?

And if it is true, please name a few of his works. I know I could just "Google
it", but I'd rather you just answer my question, rather than question it.

question
kazuki-nakashima
Is Kazuki Nakashima a mangaka?


He is a Japanese playwright, novelist and anime screenwriter. [His work on
anime mostly as writer.](http://myanimelist.net/people/3328/Kazuki_Nakashima)
But according [this
interview](http://www.performingarts.jp/E/art_interview/0611/1.html) he did
write a manga before.
