Status	Worked for Asuka ?

Weird and wacky, and better than a tourist guide map around Tokyo. Style of drawing is bold and rather harsh, with an equally brash story line to match. Main character is usually intensively agressive while trying to maintain their feminity in a very um brutal way :), whole lot of fun.

• Sakurako ga Kuru
  The man whom Sakurako would marry will have control of the Fujisjima gang, one of the most influential yakuza in Japan. The problem is Sakurako does not want to marry either of the prospective groom, neither does she want to continue living in the gangster world. What results form the situation is a quest to find "prince charming" as she transfers from one high school to another...much to Reichi and Ranmaru's dismay.

Her work tends to be very humorous, I haven't read all that many of her work, but they seem to be quite promising.

Matsushita Youko 松下 容子

Birthday	23 rd of June
Birth Place	Kumamoto
Zodiac	Cancer
Blood Type	AB
Status	Working for Hana to Yume magazine

Her debut work was Akuma no Gakko (???????w?Z) or translated as Devil's School, published in 1995 Hana to Yume. She's fairly new I think, in terms of publishing wise, but her art work is very sophisticated in comparison. Can't really say anything much about this author yet, maybe later after her first series finishes.

• Yami no Matsuei (?? ??????)

Miura Hiroko 三浦浩子

Born on the 10 Th of December in Miyazawa province. Star sign is Sagittarius, blood type O. Her debut was Hajimete no Kisetsu, published in Chao in 1977. She was active in Puchi Comic (Petite Comic) with Shogakukan. Her drawing style is very realistic, wonderful attention to detail, at the same time it's also a lot more simplistic, not as many fancy frilly backgrounds as other shoujo comics. I don't know why, but sometimes it reminds me of poster art from the 1950's,

Status: Active in Judy Comics.

• Mizukage kusa*
  Ayame must avenge her father's death and continue his mission as a ninja despite the fact that she had to supress any chance of personal happiness.

Moto Naoko もと なおこ

Birthday	16 th of July
Zodiac	Cancer
Blood Type	A
Status	Active in Princess Comics

Think tea in delicate porcelain cups, lace, antique and the fragrance of pot pourri burried in an old chest and you probably understand what this author is like. Her work have a very nostalgic sense, envoking very western ideas of the good years of yore, similar to sentimental Victorian Christmas cards. At the same time there's a touch of innocence which is rather unique, most of her characters living in a world apart from the hum drum world we live in. Her character design reflects this romanticism, both female and male character being equaly beautiful, with softly flowing hair.
