Biography

Kui posted her early works on Pixiv and COMITIA before making her official debut as a manga artist in March 2011 with her short story collection Ryuu no Gakkou wa Yama no Ue Kui Ryouko Works[1] (竜の学校は山の上 九井諒子作品集, Ryū no gakkō wa Yamanoue Kui Ryōko Sakuhin-shū).[2] Prior to this, she published a webcomic on her personal blog named UORIR: Amble (UORIR: アンブル編 (UORIR: Anburu-hen)) which ran from 2008–2012.[3]

In 2013, Kui won the Excellence Award in the Manga Division at the 17th

Comic Natalie award, the 2016 Kono Manga ga Sugoi!, the 2016 Kono Manga wo Yome! [ja], and the 2016 Zenkoku-sho ten'in ga eranda osusume komikku [ja].[2] Delicious in Dungeon received an anime adaptation in 2024, with Kui noted as being "very involved" with its production.[5]

Style

Kui's style is noted for its portrayal of reality and fantasy with her unique point of view.[2] Megumi Sakamoto writing for Comic Natalie described her characteristic style as embodying "unnaturalness" (違和感).[6] Kui was noted in an interview with Comic Natalie to have an affinity with dragons, and has had dragons featured in several of her works.[6]

Prior to Delicious in Dungeon, Kui read

Famicom, as well as Dragon Quest, Ultima, and Fire Emblem.[8] Kui cited Wizardry VI: Bane of the Cosmic Forge as one of the primary inspirations for Delicious in Dungeon.[14]
