Ai Yazawa
Ai Yazawa my favorite mangaka.

I know I'm very picky when it comes to anime and movies , the storyline is very important to me but that's not the only thing that I love about her.Her art style is very unique and good.I feel like this is the style I was always looking to see on manga and anime.

Yazawa started her manga publishing life in 1985. She studied in a fashion school but later dropped out. Throughout her 15 years of publishing, she wrote over 10 series in Ribon. While most of her manga continues to be published in Japan by Shueisha, publishers of Ribon and Cookie (in which Nana is serialized), series like Paradise Kiss now appear in other magazines such as Zipper, published by Shodensha.

In June, 2009, it was revealed that Yazawa had contracted a sudden illness, and had to be sent to hospital for treatment, putting Nana on hiatus. She returned from hospital in April, 2010, although has yet to reveal when or if she will be continuing the Nana manga serialisation.
