Well i was reading some manga and noticed,some rare authors that are like in a corner and never get like any comments or such,it's completely the opposite of Haruka Minami,Masara Minase,Naono Bohra,Yamane Ayano,Honjou Rei,Kaname Itsuki and more famous authors that you can always hear about.

But do you have any yaoi mangas made by authors that are rare and never talked about?~
i wanna know about what yu guys have,b/c some of these authors have amazing drawing talent,worthy of being recognized~ and its almost rare talk that you hear about them...i mean there must be hundreds of yaoi authors that you must not know about that are amazing~have you heard about these authors?~

Here are some rare mangakas that you probably haven't heard of,but their art is really amazing-i just recently read their mangas-

Lee
Mizukami Shin
Sakurai Shushushu
Hiiro Reiichi
Yukimura
Yamato Nase
Duo Brand

Lol, the only author that I recognized from your list is Yamato Nase. Ever since i visited the Forever-More scanlation site i got hooked onto her mangas especially saa koi ni ochitamae lol I'm a HUGE fan of her works and has read almost every one of her books xD~~
gonna try some of the authors mentioned on ur list xp

since I've read almost all the completed yaoi manga on this side, it's safe to say I've read the authors you mentioned (only Lee is unfamiliar).
and it's true, Yukimura's drawings are awesome!

But yeah, there are some untalked about manga-ka that should be..
[m]Duo Brand [/m] is really nice too.
I've heard about the others, read/planning to read thier works..

Well, I am a fan of yaoi, so I try to miss as little as I can




Cheers for you mentioning those great manga-ka!

I usually just read the manga that Liquid Passion and there affiliates release. Don't know if they have any of the authors that you have on that list.

Meee!

Yamato Nase, Mizukami Shin and Sakurai Shushushu are rare? How did you come up with that? I don't know anyone who doesn't know who those mangaka are. (Duo Brand is mostly doujinshi still, so one would have to be into doujinshi more to discover them.)

Maybe it's just this forum... I agree with you that those are awesome mangaka though

Even if someone never learned their names, they must have at least read their most well-known works (Chintsubu, Rikara, and Vibrator Company respectively.) And if they didn't... what the hell are they waiting for?

never have never will, I don't read hentai for one, I'm a straight guy as well so even shonen-ai grosses me out (especially young vs old pairing... eww pedophilia ugh).

I found Tohjoh Asami's stuff to be disturbing, although more thought-provoking than your average yaoi (except for Love Prism. That's definately not everyone's cup of tea.). Such a shame she's not too popular, but she's definitately not a mainstream yaoi mangaka.

As a side note I just found out she died in Oct 2007. May she rest in peace

I agree..
And about Love Prism too.. That was.. to say the least, not my cup of tea (or maybe a cup of yaoi^^)

HONMA AKIRA!!

This mangaka is one of my favorite!!!! Her drawings r more than beautiful and all her stories are touching (i mean i read Last Portrait more than 20 times and i still didnt get bored coz its beautiful!!!)

Edit: and yeah i love all the mangakas u mentionned, especially Yamato Nase (but she's pretty popular!!!)

I know these much, especially Yamato Nase, a really great one. Duo Brand is also popular. their works are great

I love all of them, and I wonder how can you say they're not famous? Their mangas are present everywhere, and a lot of them are scanlated.

Though they have many Yaoi manga but, those mangaka below are kinda unknown, for example:

Ishihara Satoru
Mutobe Ryo
Parco Shinsaibashi
Sakura Ashika
Sugahara Ryu
Toribito Hiromi
...

I think except for the content, the main reason is that their manga are not translated and scanlated, so readers who can't understand JP?Chinese often don't pay attention to their manga.

Yaoi is my life.

I'm bad with remembering names so I wouldn't know even if people are talking about my favourite mangakas unless I go and look them up. I still have those moments where I realize 2 or 3 of the manga I'm reading or had read come from the same mangaka.

I like Bikke, Minamino Mashiro and TAKABOSHI Asako. They don't have tall gangly, sparkle hot characters to that attract people's attention at first glance. The stories are cute.
