And the maddness picks right back up where it left off...

[randirien]

All right, so I'm back. It's been crazy and I've only been back for... *checks watch* *checks calendar* Uhh...I forget, but whatever. Point is, I'm back at home with easy access to the internet and the fandoms and people I don't get to see on a regular basis. I'd tell all the stories about ravnclawprefect's wedding, but everyone else has beat me to it...

I love Absolute Boyfriend. I love Yuu Watase really. She draws beautiful men. Her female characters tend to get annoying, but I love her bishies.

Definately! Those two boys are gorgeous! Too bad real guys don't look like that, right? What else has she written? *such a newbie* And what is it with female characters in a lot of shojo stuff?! They all wind up really annoying! Is it just a trend or an unwritten rule, or what?

She wrote Imadoki! Nowadays which I really loved, too ^_^ And it's a short series, only 5 volumes.

I don't know. I've noticed that trend too. The guys are all real sweethearts but the girls are just awful. Her Alice 19th series isn't too bad with the girl, but Fushigi Yuugi is just awful.

Ouran High School Host Club has a likable female lead as does Hana Kimi and Tokyo Boys and Girls Club. Funny how shounen tends to write more likable female characters than shojo does. You'd think it would be the opposite.

What else has she written?

Fushigi Yuugi is probably her most famous. She also did Ayashi no Ceres, Imadoki, Alice 19th (my favorite), Absolute Boyfriend and now Fushigi Yuuji Genbo Kaiden. She has a really distinctive style, especially her men. You'll know them when you see them.

Those two boys are gorgeous!
I love Night just because he's hot. Soshi is a sweetheart though and looks awesome in the glasses.

She wrote Fushiigi Yuugi?! Now there's a series that made me want to spork my eyes out. 1.) Death to Miaka 2.) SOOO much cheese that's just...not ever tolerable.
I've been wanting to read Ceres, so I'll add Alice 19th to the list, too.

Yeah, love Night - so gorgeous (and aww he's a puppy! lol I love it when his little chibi dog ears pop out.), but I think Soshi gets my vote. Love the dark hair and glasses...and without the glasses. ^_^
