Course leader Hiwar Nheli was born in Kurdistan and grew up in Norway. He teaches comics and manga at Bjerkely Folkehøyskole, and is a frequent lecturer at libraries and schools across the country. Hiwar made his debut as a manga creator in the anthology “Rakkan” and his first book “Mantikorens kongerike” was published by Outland in April 2025.
Outland publishing house is Norway’s leading publisher of manga, i.e. comics from Japan. Since 2016, Outland has translated and published a number of original Japanese manga series, such as Dragon Ball, One Piece and the Pokémon adventures. In 2020, we asked ourselves the question “Is there Norwegian manga?” The result was the anthology series Rakkan, which featured contributions from Norwegian manga creators. It turns out that manga as an art form is very popular in this country, and with our first Norwegian manga series, Manticore’s Kingdom, we want to show that there is room for the traditional Japanese style in Norway too.
