Natsume Isaku Autograph event report

[gabakane]

I was terribly nervous to meet with manga-ka, Natsume Isaku-san, for the first time yesterday at the autograph session at TSUTAYA shibuya and I made everything ready, especially that many messages from you overseas fans, in my bag from the day before. It's rumored among BL fans in Japan that some manga-ka, who I'm madly in love, is not that

Gabby-chan!!

Thank you so much for conveying my message to her ♥ 感謝してる^_^

So glad to know the mangaka we admire is someone with a very pleasing personality. I'm sure everyone would feel the same way too.

hahaha まだまだちゃん、早い返事！！

夏目イサクさんは、日本語で一言で表すなら、
”さっぱりした”女性でした。
さっぱりというのは、例えば、お風呂上りとかに使える表現ですね。
つまり、you feel relaxed and comfy with. というのかな。
いやあ、無事、メッセージを届けることができて、よかったっす！
I'm relieved I was able to take the message to her^^

Heehee ^^ I just got online and was surprised to see your post. I'm happy for you that you got to meet her in person. ♥

The cover is lovely and it´s great you were able to attend the event and take all the messages to her. Yet another manga-ka as awesome as her work ^_^

[gabakane]

OOOH!　I happened to find you at the top of comments in Josh Lanyon's site? Are you a fan of him? I'm reading his titles one after another these days and now it's "Man, Oh Man! Writing M/M Fiction for Kinks & Cash." Next would be vol.4 of dangerous ground series. Did you enjoy that one?

Natsume-san has gone quiet with twitter. I'm afraid she must be under deadline...

[rapidess]

Ah, I actually saw you the other day at the playlist thread and wanted to say hi but I hesitated about where to do it!!
JL work is awesome. I haven´t read MOhM, but I have most of the other books.
DG4? I have just finished it and LOVED it ^_^
Have you read Mummy Dearest preview? Another one to the to-buy list ^_^
I like mm romance as much as yaoi but I just realised I seem to be posting lately more about mm novels that manga^^

Deadlines must be very stressing.

Uwhoaa~~ I feel like crying out of joy and happiness TTATT

Such an amazing thing that you did! Thank you so much! The cover sure is lovely ♥ and it's great to know that Natsume-sensei is such a lovely person just as my imagination (her mangas gives off the same energetic feeling too (＾▽＾*). Sooo happy~~

Thank you again Gabakane-san. You've made my day!

[gabakane]

Yeah, Natsume-san's works never fail to cheer you up, right? She's like those bright sunflowers at the cover of manga.

Glad you had such a wonderful time!

[gabakane]

It's not always a good idea to see the real author, since not every author would fit to the image you create through his/her work. Fortunately, Natsume-san didn't turn over my expectation.^^

take care

BL industry in Japan is still a small part of publishing world, so it's not that easy for many Japanese to join those events unless they're living in around Tokyo area. I was exhausted, waiting and standing in a line to see Natsume-san, but it really was a great time.
