Artist Spotlight: Syunnpei Nakata

Today's Artist Spotlight post features the art of Syunnpei Nakata. He is the creator of Dragon Ranger, which has been featured before on HFG.

Nakata specializes in bara and what I like about his art is that it is full-color. I also like his sense of humor (Dragon Ranger, for example, is funny and hot).

Below, you'll find a few more pieces of art.

Artist Spotlight: Mentaiko

Today's Artist Spotlight features artwork by the Japanese bara manga creator known as Mentaiko. This artist was suggested by J, who wondered if I had ever featured the artist on the site.

The artwork in today's post is from Mentaiko's official website (link contains non-worksafe content). Unlike many Japanese art sites, there are no explicit warnings in Japanese or English regarding the reuse of the images on the site. I also want to make clear that creators can contact me (lagosta2700 at aim dot com) to have their content removed from HFG.

The rest of the pics below are worksafe so you will have to go to Mentaiko's website (NSFW) to see the explicit stuff. Also, you can legally buy content from Mentaiko via DLsite.

Artist Spotlight: Mayu Shinjo

Today's Artist Spotlight focuses on manga artist Mayu Shinjo. She's best known for titles such as Love Celeb, Haou Airen, and Kaikan Phrase. Kaikan Phrase (aka Sensual Phrase) received an anime adaptation back in 1999.

As far as I know, only Haou Airen and Sensual Phrase are available in America. Both series were licensed by Viz Media.

Artist Spotlight: Aya Shouoto

Today's Artist Spotlight focuses on Aya Shouoto.  She is a manga artist who has done a bit of everything.  Her work includes shoujo, yaoi, and yuri.  I noticed her artwork when I started seeing more and more art from her current series Barajou no Kiss (aka Kiss of Rose Princess).

As far as I can tell, none of her works are available in the U.S. yet.
