<p>I read somewhere that Kazuki Nakashima writes manga, but I don't really believe that.</p>

<p>I mean, as shown in the ending credits for Sword Art Online, the man did the colour setting (read it and weep, but that's what it says).</p>

<p>I also know that he plays big roles in the making of the two animes Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill.</p>

<p>With that being said, I saw the guy as more of a anime type person than a writer of manga.</p>

<p>But, my thoughts aside, <strong>does Kazuki Nakashima</strong> <strong><em>really</em></strong> <strong>write manga</strong>, or is it not true?</p>

<p>And if it is true, please name a few of his works. I know I could just "Google it", but I'd rather you just answer my question, rather than question it.</p>

"I know Kazuki Nakashima did the color setting for Sword Art Online" - did he? The fellow's a writer, not an artist...

This question seems absurdly simple. To know other works done by a person, all you have to do is Google it.

@senshin, that's what the ending credits for SAO say.

And @Ero Sɘnnin, maybe so, but I'm not the first person to ask a question that Google can provide the answer to. So, maybe you could help instead of delivering a smart comment, m'kay?

I read somewhere that Kazuki Nakashima writes manga, but I don't really believe that.

I mean, as shown in the ending credits for Sword Art Online, the man did the colour setting (read it and weep, but that's what it says).

I also know that he plays big roles in the making of the two animes Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill.

With that being said, I saw the guy as more of a anime type person than a writer of manga.

But, my thoughts aside, **does Kazuki Nakashima** ***really*** **write manga**, or is it not true?

And if it is true, please name a few of his works. I know I could just "Google it", but I'd rather you just answer my question, rather than question it.
