Favorite Yaoi Manga Artists/Authors?

[Hal B Noire]

I really have a variety, since most are short stories; and I wish I could put them all. But the artist/author who I really like in particular is Haruka MINAMI. The way she (or he, I'm not sure if it's a man/woman who makes them) draws men are incredibly beautiful. The seme are of course cool and handsome while the uke are sweet and adorable; but either way they are incredibly bishie. Right now my favorite one from her works is Honey Boys Spiral. So who is your favorite? mrgreen  

[Wicked Desire]

Heh. I do like Haruka Minami, although personally I find her seme's almost as cute as the ukes and the ukes are a bit too cute to possibly be legal, no matter what she says. But I still love her stuff.

I like (cue LOOOONG list) Honjyou Rie, Hiro Reiichi, Hyouta Fujiyama, Shimizu Yuki, Zaou Taishi & Eiki Eiki, Koide Meiko, Kisaragi Hirotaka, Fuwa Shinri, Kawai Touko, Yamada Yugi and Takanaga Hinako.

As for shounen-ai, I like Sugiura Shiho and Sumomo Yumeka.

[SilverMaple]

I agree about Haruka Minami's works. mrgreen They are cute!

Who else do I like? Yamane Ayano, Takashima Kazusa, Youka Nitta (GAAAH!! SHE ROCKS! heart ), Fuwa Shinri, Yamato Nase, Row Takakura, Kazuma Kodaka, Chitose Piyoko, Naono Boura, Minase Masara...

I'll get back to you when I think of or find more. mrgreen

Yukine Honami (Rin!, Kiss Scandal) (doesn't write badly -- just doesn't write)
Sumomo Yumeka (I don't even remember, I hate her stories like burning)

Art and story
Suzuki Tanaka (Menkui!, Aishiatteru futari)
Kazuma Kodaka (Kusatta Kyoushi no Houteishiki.. that's all I've read of hers, the rest I'll read when I'm 18 )
Fumi Yoshinaga (Truly Kindly, Lovers in the Night)

[Kitsune-chi]

Let's see. Taishi Zaou, (I also like her works under her other pen name, Mikiyo Tsuda, aside from Kakumei no Hi >> Didn't care for that one) Eiki Eiki, Kazuma Kodaka, Amano Yamane, Sumomo Yumeka ( heart heart heart ) Suzuki Tanaka, Higuri You, (Her art's absolutely gorgeous) and there are probably more but none that I can remember at the moment.

Yun Kouga and Maki Murakami.


Kitsune-chi: zomg I forgot You Higuri! I love her art, but I've only read Gorgeous Carat (which ruled) and some crappy oneshot (which did not) so I can't judge her as a writer yet.  

[ChaoticAngelofElvenBlood]

Oh, so many to choose! Well, I like Hana Umezawa, Tohru Kousaka, Chouko Kabutomaru, Kou Fujisaki, Hinako Takanaga, Nase Yamato, Yun Kouga, Kazuhiko Mishima, Kamei Yogorouta, Yaya Sakuragi, and Tamaki Kirishima. ^_^  

[RoseSpirit]

^^ The only artist that's really stuck out for me is Fumi Yoshinaga, although I'm sure there are others I like that I can't remember. xd  

[Skizzors]

Fumi Yoshinaga is magic. With Kazuma Kodaka and other yaoi writers, I'm willing to wait until I'm 18 to get their more graphic stuff. With Fumi Yoshinaga, no. Want it need it as soon as it's out.  

[Hoshi no Miko]

Technically she's not really a BL or yaoi artist/author, but Yun Kouga is at the top of my list... as well as the woman who does the art and story for Yellow and Hero Heel. I don't have either manga handy right now so I can't go grab her name. I also adore Sanami Matoh, the author/artist of FAKE.  

[The Lucifer Effect]

Naono Bohra because she's awesome. Also she doesn't worry about the whole seme/uke thing and she once wrote a yaoi with a slightly chubby guy as uke redface
She goes where no other yaoi mangaka has been!
[with the exeption of Maki Murakami. She goes there.]  

[Wicked Desire]

Ooh, I forgot about Naono Bohra. heart I also forgot about Saika Kunieda.

(and Maki Murakami goes places I'd rather not go)
