Otsuichi: Difference between revisions - JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia

Otsuichi was born in the town {{w|Tanushimaru, Fukuoka|Tanushimaru}} situated in the {{w|Fukuoka prefecture}}, {{w|Japan}}. He started writing novels at the age of 16. His debut work was ''Summer, Fireworks, and My Corpse'' in 1996 which won a novel award in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]]. He later graduated from the {{w|Toyohashi University of Technology}} in 2002. He continued to write light novels in his time at university.

In the year 2000, Otsuichi was visiting by [[Shueisha]]'s editorial department where he learned about the part 5 novel getting published. As part 3's novel had been published a few years ago, he went to ask one of the editors about a part 4 novelization. He also requested to write the part 4 novel if nobody else was there to write it. His request was accepted and he started writing manuscripts for the novel in the year 2000, but he ended up writing a 400-page manuscript that he eventually wasn't happy with. In 2002, a rough 30 page draft of a novel titled [[The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp]] was released in Yomu Jump (a special novel-based issue of [[Weekly Shonen Jump]]) along with a full release date in February 2003. However, the novel ended up proving difficult to complete. In the annual Japanese guidebook, Kono Mystery ga Sugoi 2004, Otsuichi claimed to have written over 2000 pages, but had thrown them all out.<ref>[http://atmarkjojo.org/archives/2004/2004-12-09-000598.html @Jojo article: Otsuichi struggling to complete novel]</ref>. Since he wasn't writing or publishing any books at that time, he took a different job to earn a living in the interim while he worked the novel.
