Hi! We’re Aurora Gate and Diana F. Dev, AKA. Studio Kôsen.
In 1998 we drew the 4 comic-book format series Garou-chan for Amaniaco Ediciones (Spain). It was compiled in a 162-page book in Poland and scanlated in English. It was amateurish, but it opened many doors.
From 2006 to 2008 we created two 192-page comics, Saihôshi and Stallion, for Yaoi Press (USA). It was licensed in Spain, Argentina, Germany, Italy and Poland.
In 2008 we created the 192-page comic Daemonium for Tokyopop. It was licensed in Germany, Spain, Finland and China.
From 2009 to 2013 we were swamped coordinating a Spanish manga imprint for Glenat, Linea Gaijin. We also created our 3 book series Lêttera. It was licensed in English by Chromatic Press.
From 2014 to 2019, for Chromatic Press (USA/CA) we created the 3 book series Windrose. Licensed in Spain.
Meanwhile, from 2017 to 2018 we created Gata de Madrid, a two-page monthly series for the Spanish magazine M21.
While we worked in comics, each of us was also writing her book novels: Diana wrote Saihôshi Redemption to be published in USA and Spain, and also the 4 book series Monstruo busca Monstruo, published in Spain by Nocturna Ediciones. Aurora wrote the 3 book series Imperio de Traidores, self-published (Kosen Books) in Spain.
2020 gave our careers a huge turn. Diana participated in the +18 visual novel To Trust An Incubus. Then she created her own, Mister Versatile, followed by three DLC chapters, in English and Spanish for Y Press Games, available at Steam and Itch.
Meanwhile, Aurora started drawing Equinox, a 5 book series for the French publisher Drakoo. Three of them have been published, with the 4th in progress.
We’ve worked as freelancers drawing, colouring and grey-toning other people’s work, and drawing several book novel covers.
