They're weird!

Kumiko Suekane (Afterschool Charisma): Suekane is allll over the place. The blog's tone is very casual, fannish, and jaded, to the point that I can't understand, like, 75% of her references. She's into Phoenix Wright. Complains about her magazine (!).

Moyoco Anno (Hataraki Man, Sugar Sugar Rune): There's one post on there, and in it she apologizes for not posting. And drawing - sounds like she's been sick. Tone is sad and bored. Feel better, Moyoco Anno!

Natsuki Takaya (Fruits Basket, Hoshi wa Utau): Very domestic. She talks about her assistants, presents people have given her, stuff she's bought, food she likes, and the weather. She posts photos of all of these things. The title of the blog is "Cat and Mouse and Stars and the Moon."

Kubo Tite's Twitter (Bleach): Casual stuff about work and his assistants. His fans send him fan-Tweets, and he says, "Thank you!" and sometimes comments on personal details they've mentioned. "I'm glad I've made a manga that fathers can read with their sons!" IF THEY WANT THEIR SONS TO GROW UP TO BE MISOGYNISTS i didn't say anything

Kaoru Mori (Emma, Otoyomegatari): I really enjoy hers. Excited discussions of her research material for Otoyomegatari and anything else she's been into recently. She went through an opera phase at one point, and obviously still likes the Victorian era.

She also posts a lot of sketches of busty women, attended by mock-embarrassed disclaimers that she does draw things other than busty women. Well, evidently you do not do so very often, Kaoru Mori. If you wondered why her women in Emma and Otoyomegatari are so much hotter than her men, this blog may help to answer your question.
Dicebox, by Jenn Manley Lee

Griffen and Molly are a hard-bitten semi-lesbian sorta-couple who move from place to place in a dysfunctional far-future world, going whereever work is, and sometimes finding explosions in the same places. Griffen, alternately charming and acid-tongued, is a former highly-ranked civil servant. Something happened that left her deeply damaged and bitter, and she compulsively picks fights and keeps secrets. Molly, younger by at least a decade, has brain damage that makes her forget things, and causes her to see vivid hallucinations that may not entirely be hallucinations. She's both protective of Griffen and bewildered by her, though empirical evidence would suggest that she does a better job of understanding Griffen than Griffen does her. Image-intensive snark and sexiness under the cut! )

Afterschool Charisma, by Kumiko Suekane

Shiro Kamiya is the only ordinary human kid at an exclusive private boarding school where every other student is a clone of a famous genius of some kind. Along with his best friends, Napoleon and Hitler, and his crush Marie Curie -

You may still be stuck mid-way through that sentence. I'll give you a minute. Image-intensive shoujo manga insanity under the cut! )

Otoyomegatari / A Young Wive's Tale, by Kaoru Mori

This is another gorgeous, charming, carefully-researched, occasionally-slightly-less-than-feminist historical comic by Kaoru Mori, artist of Emma. Image-intensive prettiness under the cut! )
