Maki Murakami
Name: Maki murakami
DOB: 24 may
star sign: gemeni
blood group: A
Debut: April 1995
Gravitation
Gamerz heaven
Murakami sama began by drawing Doujinshi for a group called Crocodile AVE. The doujinshi's were things like Final fantasy VII were she worked on "Doko wo miterundesuka Sephiroth san", Tales of destiny "Dimlos and stan", gundam wing (which leads me to believe even more that Tohoma is based on quatre)  and lots of Jpop doujinshi (mainly B'z). Her first official work was published in april of 1995 as a contribution to  "Kimi ton no boku". The name was "Narushito no higeki" which meant "Tradegy of a narzissiten". This was ended after 2 mangas.
Then she started work on the "Gravitation" manga, It became very famous in japan with 12 volumes a 12 episode Tv series and a 2 part OVA. Apart from Gravitation, she also wrote the Gravitation remix. These are small mangas containing  Yaoi stories with explicit sex scenes which might not appeal to all her fans, which present other pairing besides YukiXShuichi , even insest(yes murakami sama has no boundaries)
At the moment, Maki has put Gravitation aside to work on some of her newer projects "Uzumaki nekono mitukekata" in 1999, "kimi no Unaji ni kampai" in 2001 and most recently "Gamers heaven" in 2003.

It would be a lie to say that Maki Murakami hasn't been a major influence on my writing style. Maki is definatly one of my favourite manga artists, proving to always have exiting, bizzare and funny stories throught all her mangas.
