Yusei Matsui (born 1979) is a Japanese manga artist from Saitama Prefecture. He made his debut with “Neuro: Supernatural Detective,” which began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2005. In “Assassination Classroom,” a powerful creature threatening to destroy Earth becomes the teacher of Class 3-E, a group of students marginalized within their school. The students are tasked with assassinating him, even as he helps them recognize and develop their individual abilities. Through this paradoxical relationship, Matsui examines educational hierarchies, damaged self-confidence, and teaching that looks beyond grades. His historical manga “The Elusive Samurai” follows Hojo Tokiyuki after the fall of the Kamakura shogunate in 1333. Having lost his home and family, the young heir relies on his exceptional ability to escape danger as he gathers allies and seeks to recover his position. By making survival and evasion central to a warrior’s story, Matsui offers an alternative to heroism defined by battlefield strength or an honorable death. The series received the 69th Shogakukan Manga Award and concluded in 27 collected volumes.
