I apologize if this is the wrong forum, but I wasn't sure whether this would go in "Shounen" or "Yaoi"; and, it's a correction, so...

I'm 80% sure that Kiriyu Kiyoi is NOT the author of Armored Gull: The Exoskeleton Frame. I can't be 100% sure because both her Twitter and official page (as listed) are dead; and, while this might be a publisher's attempt to reboot a BL author for shounen, there are other inconsistencies that make that seem a bit farfetched:

1)As far as I can tell, Armored Gull was launched sometime in 2018 (or before) in either Chinese (most likely) or Korean, not Japanese
2)The art style doesn't match—face and eye shapes and the way hair is rendered are distinct
3)Armored Gull's panel compositions suggest a more inexperienced comic artist.

I think the confusion is that Kiriyu Kiyoi's doujin circle name is Las, which is the same name as the Armored Gull author. I could be wrong, but I don't think it would hurt to double-check.

Fixed by creating a new author entry for Las (II)
