Shihei Lin, the editor behind major hits like Chainsaw Man, SPY×FAMILY, and Dandadan, has launched a new venture. Lin announced via X (formerly Twitter) the creation of his company Mix Green, which will operate a new manga platform now open for artist submissions.
Lin departed from Shueisha in August 2022 after a 16-year tenure that began in 2006. Following his departure, he continued to work with his established artists on a freelance basis. His significant editorial contributions have shaped some of the most popular manga series in recent years.
The new platform aims to provide a space for creators, leveraging Lin's extensive experience in the industry. Details on the platform's specific focus or submission guidelines were not immediately available, but its launch signifies a new chapter for the respected editor and potentially for emerging manga talent.
