Yuu Watase (渡瀬悠宇) is a Japanese shoujo manga-ka. She is known for her works Fushigi Yūgi, Alice 19th, Ceres: The Celestial Legend, Fushigi Yūgi Genbu Kaiden and Absolute Boyfriend. She likes all music, except heavy metal and old traditional music.

She received the Shogakukan Manga Award for shōjo for Ceres, Celestial Legend in 1997. Since writing her debut short story "Pajama de Ojama" ("An Intrusion in Pajamas"), Watase has created more than 80 compiled volumes of short stories and continuing series. Because of her frequent use of beautiful male characters in her works, she is widely regarded in circles[which?] as a bishōnen manga artist.[citation needed] In October 2008, Watase began her first shōnen serialization, Arata: The Legend in Weekly Shōnen Sunday.
Her name is romanized as "Yû Watase" in earlier printings of Viz Media's publications of Fushigi Yūgi, Alice 19th, and Ceres, The Celestial Legend, while in Viz Media's Fushigi Yūgi Genbu Kaiden and Absolute Boyfriend her name is romanized as "Yuu Watase". In Chuang Yi's English-language versions of Fushigi Yugi (spelled without a macron or circumflex), her name is romanized as "Yu Watase".

Ternyata versi ini nggak setebal versi Indonesia, yak. Baca online, sih.

Kiss Me With Mints. Komik ini terasa begitu lucu waktu aku membacanya saat SMP dan SMA. Tapi sekarang, baru kusadari situasinya aneh banget. Gila aja Misono langsung nyosor mau nyium gurunya di koridor sekolah. Akhirnya salah cium pula. Adegan skateboarding pake sempoa itu juga... haahaha. So rule of cool.

Namanya juga komik.

***

Genseika.

Kesan horor yang kudapatkan masih sama dengan saat membacanya pertama kali. Tapi aneh bagaimana RS bisa menutupi kematian Kazuyoshi, dengan "dibunuh orang gila". Dia kan matinya di jalan daerah perumahan. Memangnya pas dia digotong ke RS, nggak ada yang liat kalau ada bunga gede muncul dari badannya? Atau memang daerah perumahan Jepang pas weekday sesepi itu?

Hana no Shirube atau Seal of Flower, menceritakan bagaimana gadis tokoh utama bisa bertahan hingga masa distopia karena gen bunga Genseika dalam darahnya. Enggak ada penjelasan kenapa bisa cuma dia yang nggak mati saat disuntik serum.

***

Furikake Romance atau Turn Back Romance.

Kaget juga nemu seri ini di sini. Karena seri ini kubaca di antologi Pajama's Wish.

***

Nakago, Wake Up!

Plesetan dari Fushigi Yuugi. Karena aku belum baca Fushigi Yuugi, aku clueless. Ini cerita what if, bagaimana jika Fushigi Yuugi adalah serial TV yang diperankan para aktor? Tokoh Nakago yang jadi tokoh antagonis ternyata diperankan aktor pendatang baru yang canggung dan sering bikin NG. Sebaliknya para tokoh utama malah diperankan para aktor populer yang arogan dan suka marah-marah ke pemeran Nakago. Absurd. Tapi mungkin ini akan jadi hiburan kocak untuk mereka yang udah baca seriesnya.

I love Yuu Watase so much!! The first short story, Mint de Kiss, I wish had a full mini series for. It was so adorable and the magical element to it was also fun! There were some cliches but it didn’t take away from how fond of the story I was. Second, the gensei kai (?) story was sort of terrifying. I think the contrast from the first and second short stories really show how Yuu Watase can write amazing stories across genres. Yes, there was some romance in it but overall it was scary. The last short story was easily my least favorite. The idea was nice, a tomboy is never noticed by boys and finds love in the least likely of places. But she had to pretty much manipulate people for a second. Even if there were no ill intentions, it was still weird and I didn’t like it. I’m also going to point out that while Watase does include a few gay characters, I don’t love how they’re always the butt of the joke? I shouldn’t expect much since this was published... how many years ago? and, I’ll admit, the teacher coming out only made me chuckle because it was misono confessing. But when you think about it... it’s still a weird situation?? Dunno! It’s not horrible but it’s not the best! Otherwise, Watase never disappoints! I love her writing and art so much! I feel every emotion that she portrays. Love it, wish the stories were longer.

Tenía ganas de volver a leer a Yuu Watase. No puedo decir que esta autora esté entre mis favoritas, no, pero si que hay una obra suya que es muy especial para mi, y por eso quería darle una oportunidad a otra obra suya.

Pero Kiss me with mint no me ha gustado, para nada. Ha sido una lectura entretenida, pero decepcionante y un poco espeluznante. No me ha gustado nada lo que he encontrado en estas tres historias autoconclusivas.

En un primer momento, podríamos pensar que nos encontramos ante un tomo ñoño e infantil, pero pronto Yuu se encarga de hacernos olvidar eso. Mete temas serios como es la muerte y la homosexualidad, pero lo ha hecho de una forma que no me ha gustado nada. Narraba tragedias como quien se come un caramelo, de forma superficial y con un tono cómico, y de cómicas estas historias no tenían nada, eran bastante gores para una autora de shojo, y parecía reírse de cosas muy serias. ¿Es ficción y por eso vale? Bueno, yo no estoy de acuerdo.

No me ha gustado lo que Yuu Watase nos ha entregado en este tomo. Nunca me ha gustado como dibuja y su la trama deja mucho que desear... pues este es el resultado ¬¬.

I loved the first story so much!!! The second story was really cool as well. I liked how much it made you think at the end.

I use to be a huge Yu Watase fangirl as a teenager so I decided to read some of her alt works (famous ones are Fushigi Yuugi and Ayasha Celeste).

I found a copy of this one in Japanese as a teenage in San Fransico but was never able to read it because I don't speak/read Japanese well.

As an Adult I am really not sure what to think of Watase's stories. The girls are all so naive and stupid...

Walopun covernya ngga begitu menarik, tapi cerita-cerita di dalam komik ini lucu-lucu gitu. Hahaha..

Yang paling kocak sih cerita pertama. Waktu tokoh utama pria dan wanitanya tukeran tubuh, dan akhirnya ketahuan kalo guru yang ditaksir sama si wanita itu ternyata homo HUAHAHAHHAA..

Cerita lain lagi yang menurut gue lucu adalah yang tentang pemain kendo dan cewek yang berubah jadi kasar setiap kali ngeliat peralatan kendo HAHAHA.. walopun tragis juga sih, itu cewek jadi begitu gara-gara trauma sama kematian cowoknya yang pemain kendo.

Gue lebih suka sama kumpulan cerita pendek gini, biarpun tebel, gue bela-belain beli deh. Daripada yang berseri. Keburu males nungguin serinya.

Kumpulan oneshot manga. Ada beberapa cerita yang tema dan settingnya bagus, juga punya twist, walaupun cerita yang fluffy-cheesy juga ada. Jadi dapat nilai tengah.

Ok the plant thing was a little out there but you get five stars for the Fushigi Yuugi throw back. Oh to be in Japan where I can watch live action Tamahome..... *sigh*

I'd give the 4 stars for the flower story, 3 for the rest and that Nakago story is just FTW.
