Above is a little info bit of Yu Watase. I got to say, she is one of my favorite manga authors. Her debut story, Pajama De Ojama was first published when she was 18 years old! That must have been a great moment in her life, I mean, if it were my work, I've been jumping up and down and screaming until my lungs fell out! (Ok, no but I would have been very excited.! ^_^) I wish I could draw such goodlooking guys! (Forget that! I wish a guy like that would really exist!! :-D) Well, you've probably seen her name written a bit differently, that's because in Japan your last name goes before your first name. There is something else concerning her name that I want to clear up, you see her name is Yu, and then somewhere else it's written Yuu, well it's basically the same one so don't get confused trying to figure out how to pronounce it right because you'll end up right where you started! And you may have noticed that Yugi is written Yuugi, but like Yu watase, it's the same. Anyway, I hope I did'nt confuse you any more than you are, that is if you were'nt confused before. Now I'm confused! Ok, let me just move right along, below are all the works she has done so far and that's a lot of stuff!
