Awesome!

I'm okay with adding mangaka who isn't considered a part of the "group".

Roughan | 04-28-12, 12:18 AM

Also, add Yamato Waki. Her Asakiyumemishi (The Tale of Genji) is considered a classic.

"As I understand it (I might be wrong, of course) there were some influential shoujo mangaka from the relevant time period that for whatever reason aren't generally considered a part of the group. The question is, I suppose, how often need somebody be mentioned as a member before we ought to put them in the club description.

Any thoughts, members? I'm totally okay with including the more debatable mangaka unless there's an outcry from you guys to ignore them (...which is incredibly unlikely, really, but I might as well ask)."

I would include Ichijo Yukari, who was also born in 1949 but isn't considered a member of the group. She has some really popular works as such Yukan Club

Wooh! I just got my hands on "Sunroom Nite" from eBay!
I'll see if I can manage to scan it or scan late it (if I have the time) if anyone wants it >.<
