Tsuyoshi Watanabe is a well established and respected creator in the manga industry. One of his most well-known works is the series, Dragons Rioting, where he worked as the artist on the manga from 2012-2016. The series was published in the pages of Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Dragon Age, where the story celebrated nine volumes in both Japanese and English.
Watanabe's second project, which began publishing in Kadokawa's young Dragon Age magazine, in 2017 was titled Banrai no Hekatoncheir. The series told the story of a young hunter who loves animals, who finds himself transported to another world of fantasy creatures, where he must now survive.
The series was a massive hit among fans, publishing two compiled volumes, so far. The manga has also been a fitting followup for Watanabe, allowing his artistic skills to flourish even more with new challenges in the otherworldly beasts that reside in the world of the comic.
