Okay, so, I'm more than a bit confused.

On mangaupdates "タケノコ" (Takenoko) is credited as being the mangaka of this story, when I go to "Takenoko"'s mangaupdates page, the twitter account listed is @KeiIwashita. The problem? Iwashita Kei is a girl's love focused mangaka, there's no sign of any boy's love on Iwashita-sensei's account!

Of course, I know that some mangaka have separate aliases when they release stories for different demographics, it's quite common actually. Perhaps "Takenoko" is the name Iwashita-sensei goes by when they do boy's love comics, but I don't think this is a case of that. Iwashita-sensei draws beautiful girls but I don't think they're the one drawing my boys in Reikan Aru Youkya to Kowai Inkya.

That lead me to wondering if perhaps other websites would list a different mangaka for the comic... and yes! The website I did check does list a different mangaka... but not one that I expected???

The website (I don't know if I'm allowed to say which website on here) lists the mangaka to be Konkichi-sensei, the mangaka behind Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai vs. Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko. That answer was a little unexpected for me, especially because when I go on Konkichi-sensei's twitter account (as listed here on mangaupdates and the other website I was talking about), there's no signs of Reikan Aru Youkya to Kowai Inkya.

For a webcomic that I know is published on twitter, it doesn't make any sense for the webcomic not to show up anywhere on the mangaka's twitter profile. I looked again at the other website I'm getting information from, the link to the official raws does link me to twitter but... It's a different twitter account?

That had me thinking "okay is this website also wrong about who they listed as the author?" but I noticed that the profile pictures for Konkichi-sensei's twitter account, and the "Takenoko"-sensei who is posting the official raws look similar. It's the same mascot character thing, but one is colored in with a screentone and the other with solid colour. That was a big sign that the two accounts were related. It prompted me to really look at both Konkichi-sensei and "Takenoko"-sensei's art-styles... They're the same!

I don't have any definitive proof, and I have no idea why a BL artist would make a separate twitter account only to post more BL, but I think my conclusion that "Takenoko"-sensei is actually Konkichi-sensei is correct. I don't know how to correct the redirect on Rekan Aru Youkya to Kowai Inkya's page's mangaka listing to go to Konkichi-sensei rather than Iwashita-sensei, if anyone agrees with the conclusion I've reached based on the story I told, could someone please teach me how, or at least correct it yourself? Also could we add Konkichi-sensei's second twitter account to her mangaka page?
