| Who are some of your favorite female writers and mangaka? If the manga are as good as the anime, I'm definitely a fan of Yuki Urushibara. Mushishi is filled with so much insight and imagination. I don't know how well known this fact is, but Fullmetal Alchemist, one of the most popular and highest rated anime, was adapted from the work of Hiromu Arakawa. |

But you just elected the first mangaka I was going to suggest, I love all of her works. The same for my other favorite, Tamura Yumi, who writes excellent shoujo/josei and extraordinary female characters. I don't really read much manga so I can't offer more 'authentic' suggestions. But I do want to mention Nahoko Uehashi, author of both Kemono no Souja Erin and Seirei no Moribito - had I been versed in Japanese at all I'd already have read the novels these 2 amazing Anime are adapted from. And lastly, I only recently came across this mangaka through her (very interesting) short works: Reiko Shimizu. Another shoujo writer who crosses norms through her storytelling style and thematic approach. |

| I like Ai Yazawa a lot. Even though Nana was as dramatic as a soap opera, it was still realistic with the character development. Paradise Kiss was great too. I wish she had more works published. |

I just learned about it myself a few months ago. >_< I'm still relatively new to anime communities. SaveTheAralSea said: I like Ai Yazawa a lot.

She's a very talented artist, too. I love her character and clothing designs. |
| Female Writer - Mari Okada; I like all her anime, especially Hanasaku Iroha, Wandering Son, Aquarion Evol, M3 and the Wixoss series [though Wandering Son is an adaptation] As for mangaka, CLAMP is the one i have most experience with, though I love their art more than their writing. |
