BEL..... if i ask nicely will u tell me about what kind of manga chiyo either has made or wanted to make ✨ it's essential. daisuke's a die hard shoujo manga enjoyer he'll want an autograph immediately 'cause he believes in her n her dreams. no matter the verse or place

unprompted | @dnangelic gets a kiss from me <3

i would tell you even if you asked rudely tsun <3 chiyo's never tried her hand at a full-length shoujo manga, but she did publish a few one-shots at the encouragement of one of her seniors. they were pre-cursors to a full-length shounen manga she ended up writing; while they focused on romance, both took place in a historical fantasy setting she would continue to develop and turn into her first series!

her first series may be categorized as a shounen, but the protagonist is still female, and there is an emphasis on cultivating relationships. there's even some romance, though chiyo sure does draw out the tension :' ) the series had a relatively short run but ended exactly where chiyo wanted it to.

chiyo has illustrated a horror one-shot that's released around halloween each year for the past two years, but she doesn't write those stories. she's not as good at that sort of storytelling, but she has a lot of fun working with other writers! and prior to writing her current series, she tended to take on a lot of lil projects, illustrating the graphic novelization of games, books, etc. she'll still do it on occasion, but not nearly as much.

her current long-running series is again a shounen manga, and it's considered a " sequel " to her previous series, though the cast of characters is mostly different with a few returning characters. it's meant to be its own contained story that can be enjoyed without having read her other work, but ofc chiyo puts easter eggs for any old fans <3
