Career history[]

After graduating from university, Kaiu Shirai gained employment at a normal company, but later resigned. Aiming to become a professional mangaka, he began to submit manuscripts to magazines.[1]

On 21 June 2015, Shirai published his first professional work, a standalone piece called, "The Location of Ashley-Gate," in Shōnen Jump+, a digital imprint of Shueisha, with art by Rickey.[2] Again, in the same magazine, he published his second work, another standalone piece called, "Poppy's Wish," in collaboration with artist Posuka Demizu on 18 February 2016.[3]

After that, Shirai created a serialized work based on drafts written while he was still an amateur.[1] This work, The Promised Neverland, (with art by Posuka Demizu) started its run in the 35th issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump in 2016 and finished in the 28th issue of the magazine in 2020.[4][5]
