Nisio debuted in 2002 with the novel The Beheading Cycle (the first in his Zaregoto series), which earned him the 23rd Mephisto Prize at twenty years of age. In 2005, he began his long-running Monogatari novel series, which was published in 29 volumes as of 2023, and was later adapted as a highly-successful animated series of the same name, produced by Shaft. His Katanagatari novels, Medaka Box manga series, Jūni Taisen novel, and The Beheading Cycle have also been adapted as anime. He has also collaborated with Death Note writer Tsugumi Ohba and illustrator Takeshi Obata to write the light novel Death Note Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases. Between 2009 and 2016, he ranked among the top 10 best-selling authors in Japan, ranking as the best-selling in 2012 and 2014.

Career

Nisio Isin was a manga enthusiast since childhood and wanted to become a mangaka. However, seeing a lack of improvement in his drawing ability, he decided to become a novelist, mentioning that it didn't matter if his handwriting was subpar.{{Cite book|title=西尾維新クロニクル|date=January 30, 2006|publisher=Takarajimasha|isbn=978-4-79-665092-2|location=Tōkyō|pages=87|language=ja|trans-title=Nisio Isin Chronicle}} He attended the Ritsumeikan University College of Policy Science and left the university without graduating.{{Cite web|date=June 2016|title=あなたの本を見つけよう!!

During his early career when he submitted work for magazines, Nisio's writing speed was a selling point, and he once submitted two or three works to a single Mephisto Prize.{{Cite book|last=Nisio|first=Isin|title=ザレゴトディクショナル 戯言シリーズ用語辞典|date=June 7, 2006|publisher=Kodansha|isbn=978-4-06-182489-8|pages=113|language=ja|trans-title=Zaregoto Dictional - Dictionary for the Zaregoto series}} In 2002, Nisio debuted with the first novel of the Zaregoto series, Kubikiri Cycle: The Blue Savant and the Nonsense User, earning him the 23rd Mephisto Prize.{{cite web|title=Mephisto Prize report on Excite Japan|publisher=Excite Japan|language=ja|url=http://media.excite.co.jp/daily/thursday/030612/p05.html|access-date=December 12, 2006 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20061209171459/http://media.excite.co.jp/daily/thursday/030612/p05.html |archive-date = December 9, 2006}} He was twenty years of age at the time, and his slogan was "Nisio Isin, the 20-year-old from Kyoto".{{Cite web|date=June 6, 2018|script-title=ja:【西尾維新大辞展 京都篇】を開催します|trans-title=The Nisio Isin Taishin exhibition in Kyoto will be held|url=http://www.bunpaku.or.jp/topics/15557/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190607074330/http://www.bunpaku.or.jp/topics/15557/|archive-date=June 7, 2019|access-date=September 11, 2020|website=Bunpaku|language=ja}} Afterward, he proceeded to write the second title in the series, Strangulation Romanticist, in three days.

He still works with the Mephisto magazine, and worked with Kodansha on the literary magazines Faust, and Pandora. He also published his Katanagatari series as twelve volumes over twelve months for the Kodansha Box line in 2007; Ryūsui Seiryōin was matching this output, and the Kodansha Box website stated that it was the first time in the world two authors had done twelve-volume monthly novel series simultaneously.{{cite web|title=Kodansha Box official homepage|publisher=Kodansha|url=http://shop.kodansha.jp/bc/kodansha-box/|language=ja|access-date=January 18, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070403002222/http://shop.kodansha.jp/bc/kodansha-box/#07|archive-date=April 3, 2007|url-status=dead}}

Style

Since Nisio's debut, wordplay and tongue-in-cheek dialogue have been characteristic of his works.{{Cite book|title=別冊オトナアニメ シャフト超全集!!|publisher=Yosensha|year=2010|isbn=9784862485670|pages=39|language=ja|trans-title=Bessatsu Otona Anime Shaft Chosen Collection!!}} When asked if his use of manzai comedy was related to the fact he is from the Kansai region, he replied "I think it's certainly because I'm a Kansai person."{{Cite book|last1=西尾|first1=維新|title=ファウスト Vol.3 2004.Summer|last2=奈須|first2=きのこ|last3=原田|first3=宇陀児|last4=元長|first4=柾木|last5=清涼院|first5=流水|last6=舞城|first6=王太郎|last7=滝本|first7=竜彦|last8=佐藤|first8=友哉|last9=東|first9=浩紀|publisher=Kodansha|year=2004|isbn=9784061794306|pages=177–178|language=ja|trans-title=Faust Vol. 3 2004. Summer}} He feels that "dialogue is the character" and focuses more on dialogue than appearance.{{Cite book|url=https://ddnavi.com/davinci/backnumber/204/|title=『ダ・ヴィンチ』2011年4月号|publisher=Da Vinci, Media Factory|year=2011|pages=20|language=ja|trans-title="Da Vinci" April 2011 issue}} Nisio features many women in his works because "it is easier for them to express their individuality" explaining that "women are much more adorned as characters (e.g. fashion) than men".{{cite journal|last1=東|first1=浩紀|last2=斎藤|first2=環|last3=山口|first3=晃|last4=笠井|first4=潔|last5=仲俣|first5=暁生|date=September 25, 2004|title=Dialogue with Hiroki Azuma|journal={{Nihongo|Eureka|ユリイカ|Yuriika}}|language=ja|publisher=Seidosha|volume=36|issue=10|isbn=4-7917-0124-0|issn=1342-5641}}{{rp|92}}

His greatest influence comes from such things as Shōnen Jump manga and shōjo manga en masse.{{r|Eureka|p=91}} About manga, he is a passionate fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure; in a dialogue with Hirohiko Araki, the author of the manga, he commented this is "a manga he would like all humanity to read."{{Cite book|title=西尾維新クロニクル|publisher=The Takarajima Company|year=2006|isbn=9784796650922|pages=85|language=ja|trans-title=Nisio Isin Chronicle}} Among his references, references to JoJo are particularly common and in a novelization project of the series called "VS JOJO", together with Kouhei Kadono and Ōtarō Maijō, he wrote one of the novels that were published, called JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Over Heaven.

His works are characterized by a sense of literature that is amid the so-called "Shindenki" (ja) mystery-light novel genre, in which insane characters attempt to solve a mystery in a situation that would be impossible or unlikely in reality; and inexhaustible quotations of anime and manga from the past.{{Cite book|last=中川|first=大地|url=http://yakan-hiko.com/BN2966|title=ほぼ日刊惑星開発委員会vol.176|publisher=PLANETS Corporation / Secondary Planetary Development Committee|year=2014|location=Mail Magazine: Daily PLANETS|language=ja|trans-title=Almost Daily Planet Development Committee vol. 176}} He is well regarded as an author who has blended the conventions of mystery novels and character-driven light novels. Tsunehiro Uno describes Nisio Isin as the only writer who has made a smooth transition from "Sekaikei" (ja) to "Shindenki".{{Cite book|last=宇野|first=常寛|script-title=ja:ゼロ年代の想像力|publisher=Hayakawa Bookstore|year=2011|isbn=9784150310479|language=ja|script-chapter=ja:第六章 私たちは今、どこにいるのか――「決断主義のゼロ年代」の現実認知|trans-title=Imagination of the 2000s.|trans-chapter=Chapter 6 Where Are We Now-- Perceptions of Reality in the "Decisionalist Zero Age"}}

He has made no secret of his policy of not doing crossover or linking in his Zaregoto series. This is because crossover and linking was a technique Kouhei Kadono, whom he admires, excelled at, and so he decided to stick with the opposite style,{{Cite book|last1=上遠野|first1=浩平|title=ファウスト vol.5|last2=佐藤|first2=俊樹|last3=元長|first3=柾木|last4=西島|first4=大介|last5=西尾|first5=維新|last6=北山|first6=猛邦|last7=竜騎|first7=((士07))|last8=奈須|first8=きのこ|last9=東|first9=浩紀|publisher=Kodansha|year=2005|isbn=9784061795723|language=ja|trans-title=Faust Vol. 5}}{{rp|140}} but he replied he made an exception for the Ningen series because he began writing it as an homage to the relationship between the Kouhei Kadono's Boogiepop series and Beat's Discipline.{{rp|142}} He still maintains a steady writing pace and develops several series at the same time, but until Mazemonogatari, he did not link his works to each other. After fifteen years of non-crossover writing, he decided it was time to try a new pattern.{{Cite book|url=https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01MRXT2IU|title=日経エンタテインメント! 2017年2月号増刊「傷物語」版|publisher=Nikkei BP; undefined edition|year=2017|pages=27|language=ja|trans-title=Nikkei Entertainment! February 2017 Extra Edition of "Kizumonogatari}}

He has a unique way of naming his characters.{{r|Eureka|p=181}} He seeks to define his characters by their names, and he does not simply give them unusual names, but instead establishes some rules for them, although he will occasionally deviate from these rules.{{r|Eureka|p=181}} When it comes to naming, he has been described as "bizarre" and "extremely strange".{{r|Eureka|p=181}} Examples are Namanie Nienami, Kiki Kikitsu, Shibuki Shibushi, Mukae Emukae, Momo Momozono, Kajiki Kurokami, Kariteru Kanaino, Sukinasaki Saki, Shikigishi Kishiki, Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade, Backyard Bottomslash, Quarter Queen, Sagano Usagi, Byōinzaka Kuroneko (which translates roughly as "Black Cat of Hospital Hill") and Shikizaki Kiki.

He said he learned much from the novels of Kiyoshi Kasai (the author of Vampire Wars), Hiroshi Mori, Natsuhiko Kyogoku, Ryūsui Seiryōin and Kouhei Kadono. He has also stated the five writers were, metaphorically speaking, God-like beings, who had shaped and molded his writing style.{{r|Eureka|p=91}}

Nisio and light novels

Most of Nisio's works are published by Kodansha Novels, a general literature imprint, but are sometimes classified as light novels. In a conversation with Tow Ubukata, Otsuichi said of Nisio, "I think he falls into the light novel category in a broad sense."{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/170082041|title=「Quick Japan Vol.54 ─ハルカリ/永久保存版ライトノベル大特集 サンボマスター」|date=May 2004|publisher=Ōtashuppan|isbn=4-87233-857-X|location=Tōkyō|pages=116|language=ja|trans-title=Quick Japan Vol.54 -Harkari/permanent light novel special edition: Sanbomaster|oclc=170082041}} The January 2005 issue of Nikkei Characters! introduces Nisio as "a new generation of writers who are breaking down the barriers between general literature and light novels."{{Cite book|url=https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0006L6PE8|title=日経 characters !

Nisio Isin|magazine=Eureka}} commented that, although having the Zaregoto series ranked in a guide for light novels could be out of place, the influences Nisio had in his writing are easy to see, such as Kimi to Boku no Kowareta Sekai's academy romance, fighting pretty girls, moe characters, and Sekaikei-like settings, so it is not strange to see his works through the lenses of light novels.

In the 2004 edition of the light novel guide book This Light Novel is Amazing! 2005, the Zaregoto series ranked as the second most popular light novel series, but the authors wrote: "There are different opinions on whether the Zaregoto series is a light novel or not."{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/674969378|title=このライトノベルがすごい!2005|date=November 26, 2004|publisher=Takarajimasha|author=Takarajimasha, 宝島社|isbn=978-4-79-664388-7|language=ja|trans-title=This light novel is amazing! 2005|oclc=674969378}}{{rp|15}} Taking into account various opinions on "bunko is the light novel", "packaging", "age of the characters", and other factors, the book's Genre Guide refers to the Zaregoto series and Kimi to Boku no Kowareta Sekai as "borders" outside of the bunko.{{r|KLN|p=88}} In the following year's This Light Novel Is Amazing! 2006, the Zaregoto series ranked first, and in an interview held to commemorate this, Nisio said, "I'm unsure if it's a light novel" commenting that "it's not a light novel in the sense that it's 'not a light novel label,' but it's part of a light novel in the sense that 'it's a collaboration between an illustration and a novel,'" and he also said that he has no qualms about his work being identified as a light novel.{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/959707530|title=このライトノベルがすごい!2006|date=November 26, 2005|publisher=Takarajima|isbn=4-7966-5012-1|pages=27|language=ja|trans-title=This light novel is amazing! 2006|oclc=959707530}}

On January 25, 2023, Nisio Isin announced a new novel that was published on May 17, 2023,{{cite web| url=https://twitter.com/NISIOISIN_info/status/1618218894388498434 |title=西尾維新公式情報 on Twitter |lang=ja |website=Twitter |date=January 25, 2023 |access-date=January 25, 2023}} continuing the series.

=Other works=

Nisio Isin has also published several single-volume works, with some of them receiving manga adaptations. All of them deal with different themes from the usual. Ningyō ga Ningyō is a novel that invokes the style of old Japanese nonsense horror novels; Nanmin Tantei is a detective novel, a style always present in Nisio Isin's writing, but much more prominent in this title; Shōjo Fujūbun is a suspense novel, and Ripogura! is a novel that highlights Nisio Isin's love for constrained writing, based on three short stories rewritten three times each following restrained writing rules. The Veiled Man Hypothesis was Nisio's 100th book.
