Jiro Matsumoto came to manga from sculpture. Born in Tokyo in 1970 and originally from Mie Prefecture, he was still a sculpture student at Musashino Art University in 1992 when Little Feet won the runner-up prize in the Tetsuya Chiba Award, the new-talent prize of Kodansha’s Morning magazine, launching his career.
In 2001, he began serializing Freesia in Monthly IKKI, and director Kazuyoshi Kumakiri adapted it into a live-action film in 2007. He has since created Joshi Kohei and Beautiful Place.
