There's a Youtube video by Archipel featuring Yuriko Akase where she talks indepth about her path to becoming a mangaka! Link: https://youtu.be/x7Yo87NYhEk
The video is very lovely and shows her craft and how her particular unique coloring style distinguishes itself apart from the typical monochromatic black and white art still dominant today in the manga industry!
delicate and fantastical, the very essence of slife of life
SO FUCKING GOOD. reminds me so much of irie aki. I just love it when flowy and whimsical/fantastical art have such clean and precise lineart.
