Well, Chiho Saito is very very famous for her Shoujo Mangas (like Kakan no Madonna, Waltz wa Shiroi Dress, Magnolia Waltz, and Utena)...so she's a very popular manga-ka. Do you know her??
Sorry I don't, but I would like to!^^ I also like to do shoujo drawings too!
I heard that she is the best in shoujo drawings and stories only after Ai Yazawa...which I also hope you know..(I'm talking particularly to Mai now)
I know Utena but not anything else by her and I don't even know Utena that well.
probably for the simple fact that she writes shoujos. I don't like shoujos but when I read the first volume of Waltz wa Shiroi Dress I had to read the rest. I thought it was fantastic...especially because of the story-line. I also read Magnolia Waltz and Lilac Nocturne. I reccomend these three titles...they're all very good. Magnolia Waltz and Waltz wa Shiroi Dress are each 4 volumes long. Lilac Nocturne is a special volume of stories between the first two series.
