Huh. Well, like I said, my source may not have been accurate. Or maybe it was talking about the very early stuff, pre-Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai Personally my favorite title of hers is Kagen no Tsuki, although I do love Gokinjyo. WARP!!
I knew I liked you.  May I ask if you have a favorite mangaka?
That was the first yaoi I read, or at least the first truly explicit one. (I read Fake earlier, now that I think about it.) I have a French edition of that and most of her other stuff that's available in that language. I love her work...it seems somehow wrong that only two of her titles are in English. |

Naoki Yamamoto. I'm also very partial to SABE and Yukari Ichijo. |

Happy Mania is SO GOOD. In fact, everything by Moyoco Anno is brilliant. She's one of my chief cartooning inspirations, not in the least because her art was initially kind of crummy but it's gotten really gorgeous over the years.
When I was in Japan I went to a little show of her artwork, and it was amazing. She did these incredible shadowboxes, and awesome fashion illustration. |

So the person responsible for the licensing of manga at Vertical is a fan of Naoki Yamamoto. Does this mean that you'll soon be eagerly announcing the acquisition of a bunch of his titles, or is that a leap of logic/wishful thinking? 
Dance Till Tomorrow is a favourite of mine. I'd love to see more of Yamamoto's work in English. What's that? Josei? Oh, right. Well, I recently picked up Sakuran, having been a fan of Anno's Flowers and Bees (which is a seinen manga) for many years, and I like it a lot. It may in fact be the only josei manga I own, though I love the anime adaptations of Nana, Paradise Kiss, and Honey & Clover. |

I've been at this for four years now... You'd think I would have gone there by now if it was possible. Most of his works are either very erotic, some bordering on lolicon, or from Viz's parent company Shogakukan. I love his work though!
Thanks! |

I wish that more Josei was published in in the US. I can't help but look at a cover like this: http://kc.kodansha.co.jp/product/top.php/1234643262 and get kinda wistful. With lovely watercolor art and on the fourth volume it must be good . . . but I know nothing about it.
it just seems with so little brought over that there must be more that is good, but over looked. It's interesting to see so people talking about Sakuran, for some reason I hadn't thought of that as a Josei title, for some reason I thought it was seinen? I think that I will have to give that a shot. |

I believe Sakuran was published in a seinen magazine (Morning, if I remember correctly)

You're confusing it with Hataraki-man. |

They're both technically seinen. Hataraki Man ran in Morning and Sakuran in Evening.
