Maki Kusumoto (Japanese: 楠本まき, Hepburn: Kusumoto Maki; July 15, 1967, in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan) is a Japanese manga artist. Kusumoto's works are known for being psychological dramas focusing on death and romance between androgynous characters. Her minimalist aesthetics, darker themes, and preference for abstraction are all a big draw to her manga. She portrays willowy and long-limbed characters with unclear gender characteristics, who struggle with their inner demons in the harsh reality of everyday life.
