I love both of them! They are really amazing ladies and their works are amazing. My favorite from Yuu is Absolute Boyfriend. I wish it was longer. Nana is awesome work from Ai!

I love Yazawa's works. A lot of the stuff she makes is very... emotional. I can connect to all of her characters one way or another in anything I've read.


Thanks for reading!

Absolute Boyfriend was awesome, but I like Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden more. Still waiting for Chapter 32 to come out.

Yay, people replied to this ^.^

Everyone seems to like Absolute Boyfriend. It was a really adorable/sad manga. And the drama is cute too, although I think they could have picked a better actor to play Night.

And I agree with you, Yuna. Ai Yazawa's work is always emotional or makes you think on a deeper level, that's why I love her.

And Fushigi Yugi is amaazzzziinnnggggg! The anime is awesome! Watch it!

I'm still confused on Yazawa, Ai. Was it really her who made Princess Ai? What about the others: Courtney Love, D.J. Milky, and Misaho Kujiradou. What did they do with the manga?


Mom...there's a girl growing out of my lamp...

I love them both, their so amazing! I only recently heard of Ai Yazawa because of Nana, which is easily the best shoujo manga I've read.

Fushigi Yugi annoyed the f*ck out of me, i couldn't get through Volume 1.
It's just too >.<

I disagree with you, Mokomichi was an excellent choice. He portrayed it realistically to say the least. it was more focused on the OL theme[office lady] and it was a much more mature way of portraying the manga. I really liked that.

I haven't read much from either of them, but what I have read, I've liked. Ai Yazawa is stronger with story, and Yuu Watase is stronger with art, I think.
