30 days Yaoi challenge

Day 10 - List the yaoi you own & Day 11 - Favorite yaoi mangaka.

I can’t really list the yaoi I own… All my manga are in France and I’m not sure I can remember all titles without forgetting some of my favs. So I’m gonna skip this question and copy my answer for the 35 days of BL manga for the next one.

Yamada Yugi is my fav’ mangaka.

I love her stories, her characters, her black and short-haired seme, her stupid uke, her support characters, her woman character (quite rare in BL), her humor, etc.

Well… To develop a bit, I’ll say that she can write awesome stories with interesting and realistic characters. The plot doesn’t look anything special but she can make amazing stories with precious moments from it. One of my fav’ one-shots by her resolves around a hole in a sock. It seems strange but her way of describing character’s feelings makes it worth the read.
Her artstyle is not so common in BL and her stories too have (at least for me) something different than most Bl manga. Like I said, it’s not the plot but more the way she develops each story which make it awesome. I also really like her characters designs. They can look hot, cute or stupid depending the scenes. Her main characters got a different temperament in each of her manga (it doesn’t look like you’re always reading the same seme/uke relationship) and her support characters are well-drawn too. She generally doesn’t develop them during a long time but with just one panel, you can easily get touched by their feelings. Her women are realistic and not always in the bad or idiot-supporter role, which I like too.
