somehow i am really pissed right now. i watch big brother everyday and there is a guy who says "weißte?" (thats german) which means something like " u know?" at every end of his fuckin sentences
actually my favourite mangaka dont necessarily have to be the creator of one of my favourite manga. well of course i wont like them if i dont like their manga ( thats pretty obvious isnt it? ) but i love her ( i am saying her since i am mostly talking about yaoi here and yaoi mangaka are all female... well most of them ) if she has interesting and original stories and nice drawings. a nice example for that one would be ぢゅん子 ( Junko )
I ve read three manga of hers. 暴れん坊・彼氏 ( Abarenbou Kareshi ), キミノート ( Kimi Noto ) and i am right now reading コンビニくん ( Konbini-kun ) and i love them all. the stories are really sweet and her drawings are so cute too. i mean look at that:
(picture from the 4th chapter of コンビニくん )
thats just cute and delicious, isnt it? yea i know it is.
about her stories. they are pretty original even though they dont sound like it at first. in yaoi you've seen everything already so actually its no big deal if the summary doesnt sound that new or interesting... its about HOW you work with the characters, make us fall in love with them and how you creat an amazing atmosphere.
the manga 暴れん坊・彼氏 ( Abarenbou Kareshi ) is about two friends. the uke is a homophobe and the seme hides that hes been in love with him for some time so his friend doesnt hate him. well but somehow the seme ends up confessing to the uke in his sleep ( how unrealistic ) and of course the uke doesnt have any negative feelings for the seme even though he turned out gay.
see? the story doesnt sound that special. actually its a standard story but i still love the mannga cause putting everything together ( the atmosphere, the drawings, the characters AND the story) its just one of the best yaoi manga ever.
Konbini-kun and Kimi Noto are also like that. the story doesnt sound that special but still....
Next one would be 高永ひなこ ( Takanaga Hinako ). She is the creator of my most favourite yaoi manga 恋する暴君 ( Koisuru Boukun ) but I still dont really like calling her one of my favourite mangaka. its weird isnt it? but i read every other work of hers and i didnt like them at all. well they werent bad and there was one story thats kinda cute but they were all pretty... boring? i am not a fan of her artwork to begin with ( but well it got better with the time ) and the reason I like Kousur Boukun is definitely not 'cause of the artwork but cause of everything else.
well if i gotta name my favourite mangaka i always count her in but i especially mention that i only love one of her works too. actually i cant believe that the creator of the worlds best yaoi cant come up with other amazing stories.
wahh actually i only planned on writing a bit but the post already got so long and i ve only named two mangaka. well who cares. i ve still got time so i will write how much i want
桜賀 めい ( Sakuraga Mei ). I wouldnt say that her drawings are special. they arent but they are really beautiful. About her stories... if you havent read the manga yet you would think "well... another one of these kinda storylines" and her characters are not that special either. one of them is always a tsundere and the other one something else... a persistent seme or a weirdo. but somehow... i still love her works. especially 彼じゃないけど ( Kirai ja Nai Kedo ) and the sequels.
and now my all time favourite mangaka 斑目ヒロ ( Madarame Hiro ). She only has four different stories. かわいい悪魔 ( Kawaii Akuma ) + Sequel, 绯红爱恋 ( Scarlet ) + Sequel, 悪魔は微笑む ( Akuma wa Hohoemu ) and a two shot but all of them are amazing.... not joking here... really... every story of hers is perfect in every aspect. actually i cant say more. everything is perfect... and what i love most is her art. take a look:
that post really got pretty long. i wil stop for now but i am sure that one day i will write about my fav mangaka again
Yesterday I found an amazing new yaoi manga named 裁かれし者 ( Sabakareshi Mono or in english "The Judged" ). Since i know so many its getting pretty rare to find such an amazing piece or art and that one was especially good since not only the drawings but also the story are 100% to my liking.
well actually i only loved the first story ( which was about 2 or 3 chapters long only ) but the other two one shots were pretty good either... still they wouldnt have made it to the top.
it was about some pretty rich politican and a detective which knew each other since childhood cause they lived in the same orphanage but lost contact after the uke was picked up by his mother and his sister who just gave him away cause his father forced him too.
so after about 10 years or something they meet again by concidence and it comes out that the seme raped the uke back then after finding out that he was gonna be left behind by him. still the uke loved him very much so they get back together. of course it not that easy and the seme seems to be an asshole at the beginning but afterwards it just gets.... aww
after researching for a bit i found out that it was released in the usa some years ago. so of course i was gonna order it on amazon but NOOOOO of course it's out of print WHY DOES EVERY AMAZING MANGA HAS TO BE OUT OF FUCKIN' PRINT????? well it only makes sense that everyone wants to have it since its amazing but that one isnt even that popular. actually not at all. so: 何で
just like.... two weeks ago i found another awesome manga with the name 兎オトコ虎オトコ ( Usagi Otoko Tora Otoko ) and its actually from the same mangaka. when i read Sabakareshi Mono I knew that i ve seen those drawings before ( since they are so amazing there is no way one would ever forget them ) but i didnt know where from. so i looked it up on baka-updates and... wow!
i found two awesome new yaoi manga in two weeks and even from the same manga. with these two manga she ( i will call her Honma Akira-sama from now on ) immediately made it to my top 5 mangaka list.
