Artist Spotlight: Takeshi Matsu

Today's Artist Spotlight post is the first to feature a gay male manga artist.  The artist is Takeshi Matsu and you'll probably notice that his art style is a bit different from what is normally featured here.  His style is what Western fans refer to as "bara."  In short, it features more muscular, masculine looking males.  Unlike most yaoi (which is usually created by women for women), bara is created by men for men.

For most Artist Spotlights, I try to use works from artbooks as opposed to actual manga scans or scanlations.  Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, Takeshi Matsu has not released an artbook of any kind.  As a result, this post is made up of selected (worksafe) scans from his works.  For more, I recommend you check out the newly reopened Gabe's Yaoi Corner (link contains adult content), which includes mature content I won't be posting here.
