I'm planning on reading many of her mangas, but that will be hard since I can barely find them anywhere. I like that she portrays LGBT topics so well, as from what I've seen in Hourou Musuko.

And her art is absolutely amazing!

She knows how to create deep and complex characters and portrays the LGBT world without stereotypes. Amazing, love your work.

Great at making characters in all sense, but BAD at phasing and transitions.

Aoi Hana is amazing, regardless of whether you choose to watch just the anime, or read the manga. But Hourou Musuko is one that you absolutely need to read the manga. The anime starts like 6 volumes into the series, and gives you the wrong idea about Chiba-chan, and also doesn't show you how Nitorin reaches the situation she's in during the anime. The anime is just so shallow compared to the manga, whereas I felt like Aoi Hana's anime did a great job of capturing the sincerity of the manga.
