Under what name does Mikiyo Tsuda write Yaoi?
Mikiyo Tsuda Mikiyo Tsuda (つだみきよ , Tsuda Mikiyo , born on January 10) is a manga writer and illustrator from Japan who has been writing manga since 1998. This name is one of her two pen names that she writes under when drawing manga, the other being Taishi Zaō (蔵王大志 , Zaō Taishi ) . Under the name "Taishi Zaō", she writes boys love and girls love manga while under "Mikiyo Tsuda" she writes comedy-shōjo manga. Her reasons for doing this mainly had to do with keeping the fact that she drew manga centered on homosexual relationships from her family but they eventually found out anyway. Many manga artists often adopt artistic personas for themselves in order to represent themselves in sections of their manga not attributed to the story, as in an author's note section. Mikiyo Tsuda's persona is that of a teddy bear wearing a red bow tie with a bell at its center.
Maki Murakami Maki Murakami (村上真紀 , Murakami Maki ) is a Japanese manga artist most famous for the boys love manga "Gravitation", which, in addition to the "Gravitation" novel, is published in the U.S. by Tokyopop. Gravitation was the first BL to have broken into mainstream leading way for the overwhelming popularity of yaoi/shounen-ai today. There are twelve volumes currently available; and she is continuing the series with Gravitation EX, there are also two novels (one of which is written by Murakami herself). She also has written several issues of "yaoi" dōjinshi, published by her dōjinshi circle: Crocodile Avenue. "Rimigra" aka "Remix Gravitation" is the most popular and consists of sexual content but of quite a mild nature, unlike "Megamix Gravitation", which is very explicit and detailed. "Gravitation" was so successful it has its own anime series, which consists of 13 episodes as well as two "Lyrics of Love" OVAs. She has created other manga, but "Gravitation" is the most famous.
