Kaworu Watashiya

Kaworu Watashiya (私屋カヲル, Watashiya Kaworu, born 3 January 1972) is a Japanese manga artist from Tokyo, Japan. She is notable for the creation of Kodomo no Jikan, the first of her works selected to be translated into English – though the publication of the English version was cancelled by the licensee, Seven Seas Entertainment, due to concerns as to North American reaction to controversial content, and was never released.[1] However, in late 2016 it was picked up by digitalmanga, and funded for translation through a Kickstarter campaign.[2] It is also the first of her works to be adapted into an anime.
