Kaori Yuki
Kaori Yuki is best known for her gorgeously illustrated gothic manga series Earl Cain, Godchild, Angel Sanctuary, and Demon from Afar. But it's not just the deviously original art style that sets Kaori apart from other Shoujo/Josei artists. Fans adore the dark manner in which she conveys her stories, along with a set of fully dimensional, sophisticated characters. If you're into anything dark or even a little bit repulsive, yet rich in concepts of humanity, Kaori's works shall amaze you.
