Shūichi Asō, creator of The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

Who is Shūichi Asō

(2012–2018), one of the great gag comedies of 2010s Weekly Shōnen Jump. Its hero, Kusuo Saiki, was born with every psychic power imaginable and only wants to go unnoticed — a premise Asō turned into almost six years of short, absurd chapters populated by unforgettable classmates. The series was collected in 26 volumes and adapted into an anime in 2016 and a live-action film in 2017.
