[Poll #1130474]

On the one hand, it scares me. On the other, supposedly unimaginable levels of crack. On the other again, she sounds rather obsessed with incest. On the other again, crack.

The Cain Saga and Angel Sanctuary haven't grabbed me, but I've really loved Godchild.

Depends on the manga. In Angel Sanctuary, for instance, the dense and complicated way it's drawn sometimes makes it hard to see what the hell is actually going on-- and her dialogue tends to get a little stilted and overly expository. But I don't know from most of her others.

Kaori Yuki manga?

Are yes and no the only choices available?

I'd say it really depends... Angel Sanctuary got on my nerves really quickly, but people seem to really like it. Neji made me want to cut a bitch with a rusty nail.
I don't gel with her earlier works. Her cluttered pages and overly- detailed drawings may appeal to some (most?), but they just give me a headache. I like my mangas with more breathing space in them. I'm also more of a fan of clean, crisp lines.

However, I liked the Cain Series and thought Shônen Zanzô was raw and haunting (not to put in everyone's hands though). You might want to check out her one volume works first, to get a feel for her style.

is the art the typical yu watase style of shojo art where they cram as much as is humanly possible onto the page?

Um, not really. Or maybe if Watase hit the crackpipe and decided to add lots of shading effects, draw in excruciatingly thin lines and jam as much characters and dialogue as possible in a single page.

I remember before she calmed down, Watase used to make me dizzy with the super-fragmented oblique frames and the pages that looked like hunky boys' symposiums. But then again, that's conventional shoujo fare.

Yuki Kaori's works make me think of what Clamp's X would look like if it was drawn by a single lady with an inordinate amount of love for Anne Rice: the artistic rivulets of blood, the mystical BS, the obsession with feathers, the tortured heroes who are not above posing to offset their emo... Hey, wait a minute, that's exactly what X looks like...
