Yama Wayama

Yama Wayama (和山やま, Wayama Yama, born January 25, 1995) is the pseudonym of a Japanese manga artist. Born and raised in Okinawa, Wayama made her debut as a manga artist in 2015 while a student in the manga program at Tokyo Polytechnic University. After unsuccessful attempts to launch a serial manga series she began to produce doujinshi (self-published manga) to critical acclaim. Her doujinshi Captivated, by You became a critical and commercial success after being acquired and published by the publishing house Enterbrain, winning the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in the Short Work category and the New Face Award at the Japan Media Arts Festival Awards. Her other series include Let's Go Karaoke! and Onna no Sono no Hoshi.
