'''Adam Arnold''' (born April 5, 1981) is an American [[comic book]] [[creator]]. His works include the [[OEL Manga]]/[[webcomic]] ''[[Aoi House]]'' and the supernatural comedy series spinoffs ''[[Vampire Cheerleaders]]'' and ''[[Paranormal Mystery Squad]]'', both of which have been merged under the ''[[Vampire Cheerleaders]]'' name.

'''<big>Career</big>'''<br />
Arnold started his career by co-creating the long-running monthly Internet [[webzine]] [[Animefringe: Online Anime Magazine]] in 1999, which he managed until it concluded its run in December 2005. Arnold has also contributed articles and reviews to print magazines such as ''[[Request Magazine]]'',''[[ToyFare]]'', and ''[[Anime Insider]]''.

In 2002, Arnold began working freelance for [[Tokyopop]] performing English adaptation work on such [[manga]] titles as ''[[Love Hina]]'', ''[[A.I. Love You]]'', ''[[G Gundam]]'', ''[[Pita-Ten]]'', and others. In September 2004, Arnold began working for manga publisher [[Seven Seas Entertainment]] as their webmaster and would later become senior production manager in charge of their manga line. To date, Arnold has edited over two hundred of Seven Seas Entertainment's releases.

In late 2004, Arnold came up with his [[webcomic]] ''[[Aoi House]]'', which debuted on Seven Seas Entertainment's website, Gomanga.com, in 2005 and follows the trials and tribulations of two down-on-their-luck college guys named Alex and Sandy who join an anime club dominated by crazed [[yaoi]] [[fangirl]]. The original 36-episode version ran from January 24, 2005 to April 15, 2005 and was written by Arnold and illustrated by [[Jim Jimenez]]. On May 23, 2005, Aoi House was relaunched from the beginning with [[Shiei]], artist of ''[[Amazing Agent Luna]]'', taking over as illustrator. ''Aoi House'' would go on to run for four years until the series conclusion on January 31, 2009. A series of ''Aoi House [[4-Koma]]'' strips also ran in [[Newtype USA]] from January 2006 to December 2007. Both the main ''Aoi House'' series and the 4-Koma strips have since been collected across four volumes of [[OEL manga]] and two omnibus editions.

'''<big>Acclaim</big>'''<br />
[[IGN]]'s A. E. Sparrow ranked the first and second volumes of ''Aoi House'' as third in the list of the top ten manga of 2006.
