1) so happy to see you again. ^_^

2) Naono Bohra is amazing. <3 I adore her manga. I have the few that were actually released in english! lol
I don't like all her stories... some are too... dark or gory? XD for me at times. lol But for the few I don't like there are loads that I do~ <3 I love that she always manages to fit a plot into her stories too. Even when they are just a chapter long. Not many are able to do that like she does. ^_^

3) Happy Birthday!!! :D I hope you are having a wonderful day!!! *hugs*

1) Thank you :3 I'm glad to be back!

2) Yes, I do believe there was one story where a boy's lover had some sort of accident and came back from the dead to be with him...when his arm fell off I said "ACK, I think that'll be it for me." But I do love all her other stories :D
I love her short, meaningful oneshots! I agree that few mangakas can do short n' sweet like she does. Her couples always have a deeper connection than "I saw you and you're ADORABLE."

3) Thanks again!! I had a great birthday, now that exams are over and spring is finally here :)

That is the one I was thinking of. I just thought that was a bit to much, especially when they were making and his torso broke apart from his hips. >.< Gross... *cringes*

One of my favourite one shots is Yurusareta Uta I just thought it was really sweet. :)

Yay!!! :D

You know, it took me a while to be able to appreciate Naono Bohra-her art style took a lot of getting used to-but I have to agree with you now. You can tell she puts a lot of work into her stories, and she's not afraid to tackle things most mangakas avoid, like older men who look like older men, or disabilities, or even death (and I mean the not-so-glamorous kind). She's definitely one of a kind.

And happy birthday! I didn't realize you'd posted today, I didn't have to send a PM. Oh well XD Hope you had a good one :3

Her art style is very unique! It didn't take too much getting used to for me~ I find the things that irk me the most are disproportionate body parts (esp. hands and feet) and triangular/squarish faces (one reason it took me a while to warm up to Junjou Romantica).
I love stories with older ukes or oyaji ukes so finding sensei's work was like finding several chests of treasure :3 And one of my favorite stories from her was the oneshot with the deaf man and the writer.

Thank you! My family went to a nice Vietnamese restaurant for my birthday and ate noodle soup :)

Yes, well, Junjou Romantica's art style took a lot of getting used to, too XD

I really liked the one with the deaf man too, actually. It's funny, because most of her topics aren't things I generally go for, but she just does them so well.

Oooooh, that sounds yummy. I'm hungry now XD

Naono Bohra is one of my favorites because her works have real people falling in love. I think she's very brave in featuring old, disabled, and people of all walks of life in her stories. She has a nice sense of humor, too.

Are you friends with praysolace by any chance? Lol. You have similar opinions :)
And I completely agree-her realistic characters are what drew me to her work. And she does draw very cute chibis :3

Yes, I am. We talked about Naono Bohra before and I told her the same thing and she said the same thing, too. XD
