Kikori Morino is a Japanese manga creator best known as the author-artist of Giant Spider & Me: A Post-Apocalyptic Tale (Japanese: 終わりのち、アサナギ暮らし). The series is published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment and is credited to Morino for both story and art.
Giant Spider & Me is a slice-of-life fantasy set after a societal collapse. It follows Nagi, a young girl living in the mountains, and Asa, a gentle giant spider, as they share quiet routines, meals and small adventures. The books emphasise domestic detail and food, with calm, character-led episodes.
The series comprises three volumes. Seven Seas lists the English-language releases as: Vol. 1 on 20 February 2018, Vol. 2 on 3 July 2018, and Vol. 3 on 24 December 2018.
Other work by Morino appears on bibliographic listings, including the series 凸凹のワルツ.
