Tpiu, also known as Sophie Colin, is a French author who developed a passion for graphic novels from a young age. At 11, she discovered the world of manga, and she started dreaming of becoming a mangaka in Japan from the age of 16. She thus immersed herself in all things manga through fanzinat and going to French conventions. At 20 years old, she met with Japanese editors who gave her some important career advice.
She then participated in an international competition organised by Jump Plus, from the Shueisha group, where she was one of the eight finalists, prompting this editorial group to collaborate with her. In 2024, the first volume of her new series “Les Héritiers d’Agïone” was published by Kana (“The Heirs of Agione,” Europe Comics, 2024), featuring an original and entrancing fantasy world.
