Shin Takahashi ( 高橋しん, originally 高橋真 Takahashi Shin?, born September 8, 1967) is a Japanese manga artist best known for writing Saikano (She, the Ultimate Weapon) and Iihito. He was born in Shibetsu, Hokkaidō on September 8, 1967. He has been using computer graphics in his works since the time when few manga artists were able to use them.
Why this book is awesome: it doesn't just cover SaiKano but other of Shin-sensei's works as well Plus it comes with a massive 2-sided poster, and a CD-rom and what looks like a letter written by Chise on her kuma-club stationary!
