I think we all want to know her real name though... I assume "Shiei" is just a pen name...

The name is Carmela Doneza, which you might have found out yourself, had you bothered skimming the results of the link I posted. I believe Shiei herself also mentioned it on the forum once.

It's listed on the credits/copyright page of both Amazing Agent Luna and Aoi House's print volumes. Shiei's her nickname.

So how'd you get paired with Shiei then? Was that a Seven Seas decision?

Seven Seas was involved in the process of picking Shiei, yes. But Shiei was already a fan of the original Aoi House that I did with Jim and had done some fan art. When Jim couldn't continue, Shiei came in as the artist and the rest is history.

That's awesome. I'm sure she was happy to actually draw for a comic of which she was already a fan.
