Message from the author:
I came up with the story of Nizu around May of 2014, months before the anime of Tokyo Ghoul aired and became popular. I then saw the similarities between that story and mine (in reality just with the main character’s eyes trope), so I became depressed and shelved Nizu, as I didn't want to be pointed out as a copycat or whatever.
The Naruto manga is my biggest inspiration to create my own manga. I remember fondly when it was being published weekly. It was really exciting. Other manga that truly inspire me are Nisekoi, Beserk, Demon Slayer, Death Note, Elfen Lied, One Punch Man, and more…
I hope you can support Nizu, I will try my best to tell the story as it's supposed to be told. Yeah, it's a challenge, but I will try my best. I feel like those days with the big three (Naruto, Bleach and One Piece), but this time I’m also playing the game.
If you love Tokyo Ghoul (I do too), and have strong feelings about Kaneki's sad tragic story, you will find similar sentiment in the development of Nizu as I write her chapters. So, even though Nizu’s story is very different from Tokyo Ghoul, I can confidently say, you will love this one too and its development.
It has some romance like a Shoujo Manga, since I’m also inspired by manga like Sakura Cardcaptor, Yona of the Dawn, and more… But it’s not considered a genre, truly unavoidable when your main character is a teenage girl.

Welcome to Nizu! I hope you enjoy it.
