wait do we have a yuri author who's actually lesbian? lol. and one that doesn't just do stuff on their own life??
Wait, aren't such yuri authors, like, the most common type?
Most Yuri authors are either gonna be gay women or straight men from what I’ve seen, to relatively even amounts but slightly favoring gay women these days?
Tbh it doesn’t really matter cause despite what some ppl on this site may think they won’t be able to tell the difference 95% of the time as long as the writing is decent
Age 15 really felt male to me, with the rampant panty shots and quick unmotivated 'action'. Dunno if that's the 5%, poorly written, or me being wrong.
In general, I don't think you can make assumptions about an author's sex or sexuality from their work. Kodama Naoko has drawn a lot of teen's love comics (basically shoujo manga, but with sex) and even some yaoi. If you look at literature or film or any other creative medium, there are lots of female writers writing stories from the perspective of men, male writers writing stories from the perspective of women, heterosexuals writing about homosexuals, homosexuals writing about heterosexuals, etc. It seems like there's a tendency among manga fans to project ideas from the work onto its author, which I don't see in other media. Someone can be interested in yuri as a genre without being romantically attracted to women. And at the end of the day, mangaka are professional authors. They draw manga not for their own satisfaction, but to make a living.
