All these naysayers, damn. Maybe they're just not used to such a real development of feelings. They're possibly not used to romance written by women. I feel like women writers actually understand emotions better. At least from my observation.

I've been reading three manga written by women, lately, now (this one included), and they're all so phenomenally subtle-yet-impactful with the emotional content, so believable, in my opinion. I feel like they put most other stories that try to do emotional narratives to shame. And there's always people who don't seem to get what's happening, every time. (for reference, the other two are Umino Chica's March Comes in Like a Lion and Saeki-san's The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten, drawn for her by Wan Shibata)

I also read two completed manga by another mangaka that I think is a woman, too- Koume Fujichika, creator of The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses (SukiMega). I read that work, and another they did that was shorter and started out a bit less clearly wholesome, but it still resolved exactly as happily as one would hope, about a kid and the older girl next door he liked. Just about everything about both works felt like it screamed someone that had a woman's understanding of emotions. Also their author avatar totally feels feminine, like a chunk of fried chicken (I think?) with a woman's limbs and face.

I also really enjoyed Fukuda Shinichi's Sono Bisque Doll (the way the extras are written, I'd be surprised if Fukuda-sensei wasn't a woman). Waiting on the final volume for that (I assume one is coming) before I read the last several chapters. Forced myself to stop at the end of Vol14 and wait for a Vol15 to come.

Though not all stuff I've been reading's by women, but I sometimes wonder how much influence women in their lives have had in the works, like Hata Kenjiro's ToniKawa, written by a man married to a seiyu who has also collaborated with him in the past on a manga about seiyu. I suspect how closely he's worked with his wife, Asano Masumi, has influenced his work and how he writes women, at least. I really like Tsukasa's writing, for instance. Such a complicated character, and rightly so for who I'd consider the real main character of ToniKawa.
