In theory, I would, but I always end up buying something else instead. Whereas I will buy Yoshinaga books with my lunch money.

And when I read Kaori, I do enjoy her, but not the way that I enjoy Yoshinaga. Although she has so different in style that comparison is unfair, I think Yoshinaga is a much more skillful writer with an art style that hangs together much Kaori. Kaori's a lot more elaborate, but her tendency to go overboard with detail and layout sometimes interferes with her storytelling, which is so insane as to be a little difficult to follow to begin with; Yoshinaga's stringy-but-expressive minimalism perfectly complements the subtle layers of emotions in her stories, and holds my attention better.

You Higuri, a lesser writer than Yoshinaga, has gorgeous, lush, detailed art that supports her often silly-melodramatic-bizarre writing much better, I think, although she'd lose points against Kaori for the sheer ruthlessness of Kaori's crazy.

So I said they were so different that comparison was unfair, and then I compared them. Good job, me!
