Jean Snow is Production Services Manager at Ubisoft Shanghai.
Previously, he was based in Tokyo for over 15 years, where he lived and breathed design, pop culture, and gaming, sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes (he was also Executive Director at PechaKucha). He has reported on these obsessions for various online/offline publications, including the following: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, 1UP, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Wired’s Game|Life, PingMag, CNNGo, Phaidon, and The Japan Times.

I make no secret of being a huge fan of mangaka Naoki Urasawa — the currently airing animated MONSTER is my favorite series on TV, and his 20TH CENTURY BOYS is my favorite manga (I can’t believe they haven’t animated that one yet). The site Comic Book Galaxy has posted a long article on him, which I’m about to go read right now.
