Shungiku Nakamura importance

Shungiku Namakura is a mangaka who started her career in 1998 with Yaoi stories. She is signed in the manga topic with a lot of famous stories like Junjou Romantica (Pure Hearted Romance), the Junjou Romantica spin-off called Sekaiichi Hatsukoi (The World's Greatest First Love) and Hybrid Child. Her manga stories also have age gaps between the couples.

However, she is coy about her art style even it's still being a big influence in the manga arts nowaday.

Hybrid Child

The history is about three couples. There are android childrens and their owners who afterward fell in love with them. Also, all the couples are connected in some way that we could call fate. Hybrid Child is for the tragedy-hearted lovers, since it has moments when the characters need to face the death.

Junjou Romantica

It's the most famous Shungiku Nakamura's manga. Release in 2002, Junjou Romantica is about adult lovers. The couple's stories are divided by Junjou Romantica (Misaki Takahashi and Akihiko Usami), Junjou Egoist (Hiroki Kamijou and Nowaki Kusama), Junjou Terrorist (Yoh Miyagi and Shinobu Takatsuki) and Junjou Mistake (Ryuuichiro Isaka Kaoru Asahina).

The first couple apresented for the reader is the Misaki and Akihiko. In the beginning Misaki discovered that Akihiko was in love with his brother and he feels pity for Akihiko since his brother is going to marry in a stable relationship.

Sekaiichi Hatsukoi

The story scenario is in the Shoujo manga publishing with the main couples being Ritsu Onodera+Masamune Takano, Shouta Kisa+kou Yukina, and Chiaki Yoshino+Yoshiyuki Hatori.

Since Sekaiichi Hatsukoi is a Junjou Romantica's spin-off there's easter-eggs mixed in the chapters.

After all, why Shungiku Nakamura is important for the Yaoi community?

The answer is: she is a tremendous phenomenom. And when we are talking about he 2000s this is very significant. Some years earlier, in 90s the public was debating about the Yaoi stories and if it could be an awful thing for the present and future.

Nevertheless, after the Internet boom between 95 and 00 years the Yaoi content started being acessible for the mass and reached overseas like America and Europe. Shungiku Nakamura was the precursors Yaoi mangas that touched the hearts with her light, romantic and dramatical love stories.

Finally, her manga is still on top sellers and a big inspiration for the current Yaoi manga (especially her art style).

Shungiku Nakamura will always be a good reading for everyone who loves good romance with some angst. There's no better advice than recommending a Shungiku Nakamura love story.

Thank you for reading this far :).

Just realizing Shungiku Nakamura was 21 years old when she first released Junjou Romantica! 😳

If you’ve kept up with the manga, you’d know the art & story has evolved so much since its debut. Nakamura is in her 40’s now, so it makes sense the characters she created two decades ago would mature too. 🐰🧸 (Especially Usagi-san!)

Tbh, I have a hard time recommending the series today because of the problematic behavior in the beginning. Yaoi in general has issues and JR is definitely guilty, portraying the culture of its time.

But I have mixed feelings, because believe it or not, as the series progresses, Misaki and Usagi’s relationship becomes so beautiful and more human in recent years. The series has always nailed comedy and emotional depth, and that’s the reason I fell in love with it when I was 15.

The most recent arcs are the strongest, but I’m afraid without a season 4 & 5 anime adaptation, most fans will remain unaware of the series’ shift.

(Just look at the difference between these two manga covers. Their body language speaks volumes!)

Yes I’m biased because I love Junjou Romantica.

But I’m now viewing the outdated themes through the lens of an author who was quite young when she started this series. I’m a little more forgiving because of how far she has come.
