More questions from Yoneda Sensei's ask.fm!

I picked some questions from Sensei’s ask Q&A regarding drawing manga in general.. whew..

Q: The first BL I bought was Saezuru Tori… I can’t help feeling pain and sadness from your works, but do you also like to read or see works like that?

A: Yes. I like works that has 60% pain and 40% happiness, if I were to say in proportions.

Q: I love Yoneda Sensei! Thank you very much for your great works. I think Yoneda Sensei uses “light” very effectively, but is it to make the shadow stand out? I am curious to know what Sensei is conscious about.

A: I think I somehow end up using these effects, because I don’t understand how to use patterned screen tones.

Q: I recall reading somewhere that when you were taking a maternal leave, you thought you may not be able to return(as a BL author), but what made you think that way? I am glad that you came back after experiencing such times. I hope you will be able to keep a pace that agrees with you and not too demanding.

A: At the time, I haven’t drawn manga for two years. So I thought I needed to reset my mindset, to be able to get back to it as a job. (Commercial publication) has different pressure as Dojinshi. But when I was casually thinking that I will draw when I feel like it, my father said “You know, people can’t work without a due date”. I told this to my editor in charge, and set a due date to start creating the work which happened to be Saezuru.

Q: Thank you for drawing great mangas for us. I became your fan from “Doushitemo Furetakunai” and very interested in how “Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai” will develop! The delicate drawings and stories create an outlook of the world which is painful, and I feel as if my heart will burst. After reading it, although it’s a manga, I feel like I have read a piece of literature. Please tell me what triggered you to draw BL mangas.

A: I think I was triggered by reading that kind of manga, and wanted to draw one myself.

Q: How does Sensei create plots for your works? I hear there are different ways to make them such as novel style, but if you don’t mind me asking, I want to know the process of creating your work. Do you use a unique method?

A: My methods are very very common. Firstly I write down words and drawings on paper by hand, roughly as things come to mind, then type them up to my PC as plots. If they are 2 chapters long, I will make them into simple novel style plot. If they are seriels, I will roughly put the whole thing into words, then write out each story in detail, one at a time, as they progress.

Q: Do the dialogues in Yoneda Sensei’s work reflect your philosophy and outlook of life? How do you create the dialogues?

A: From time to time, but not all of them. I am embarrassed to admit it, but I am the type to have myself reflected in my own works

Q: Excuse me for asking. I always read your works and think how good you are at portraying the psychology of the character! I am always moved by the humanness of the characters, but when you create a story, which do you start by; the story or the characters??

A: It depends on the story, but most of the time, I have a character I want to portray, and think what type of character will be a good partner.

Q: I like Yoneda Sense’s work since when you were making Doujinshis! I am always moved by stories created by Yoneda Sensei. When you draw your original works, where do you start to work out the idea? Such as characters, scenes you want to draw, themes, etc. etc.. Also, I would be glad to know the points you pay attention to, when creating your works.

A: It overlaps with a previous answer, but I normally start thinking from the character. Then I think about whether it is a light or dark story, whether Uke or Seme should be the main character. Also how should I adjust the ratio of seriousness and comical atmosphere. I think it’s tiring to draw or read, when there is no breathing space. I try to pay attention to  consistency of characters. Such as expressions used in dialogues, and reactions when something happens.

Q: Sensei, will you not be drawing something explicitly erotic!, even in the future? I’d love to read it. Lol

A: I would like to try if there is a chance, but I’m not very good at it.

Thank you @evilpixiea so much for these! I was thinking of doing something similar and ask you the same thing! I have started with the New52 too because it felt more accessible, and I'm glad you've just confirmed it's a good series and a good place to start. Thanks also for the other title suggestions! I was wondering what your opinion was on the Batman - Superman title in the New52? Finally, thank you for the author's recommendations! That will definitely help finding others!!

Hi! I just finished reading the fourth part of your omegaverse series on ao3. It was soooooo good. Your characterizations are really realistic and I love the way you write. I've never been into the DCU fandom before, but after reading your fic, I've been sucked in! I'm not really sure where to start because there's so much. Could you possibly point me in a direction?

You have a few options.

First… comics.

If you’re looking for Batman a good beginner-friendly place to start would be Scott Snyder’s work on the New 52. It starts with Batman: The Court of Owls and continues with some other really good stories after that. You can buy it in trade paperback from any good comic book store or online. Also in the New 52 and by Scott Snyder is Superman: Unchained which is, likewise, a good comic for people just getting to know the universe and the characters.

In fact, while there is a lot of criticism of the New 52 one thing it did do well was make the universe accessible to new readers. I would also recommend Geoff John’s Aquaman and Brian Azzarello’s Wonder Woman (if you’re a fan of Greek Myth) from the New 52. Green Lantern was also amazing but might not be a great place for beginners.

A lot of Superbat fans started shipping with the Superman/Batman series by Jeph Loeb which I personally am not hugely into but because so many people in this fandom are I would still recommend it.

Stepping back a bit I also enjoyed the 90s Nightwing Series by Chuck Dixon and back even further the New Teen Titans by Marv Wolfman is absolute gold once you get over the way comics were written in the 80s.

There are a lot better comics than that but I am trying to think of stuff which inspired my writing which would be good for someone starting out.

If, though, you would rather not do comics there are other options.

Like the animated series and movies.

This is probably a good way to jump into the bat family as they have some simplified versions of famous bat stories. The best in my opinion is Batman: Under the Red Hood.

There is also a whole chain of movies with Bruce and Damian. I personally am on the fence about them as they are VERY simplified but they’re actually a pretty good place to start if you’re a bit confused as to how Damian fits into everything.

If you’re getting bored of movies and want something longer then the Justice League Animated Series is the place to be. That for me was really where I fell in love with the universe ad with Clark and Bruce. Yes, it’s a kid’s show, but I would highly recommend. It is also a really good place just to get to know other members of the DCU. The series eventually evolves into Justice League Unlimited which has a really diverse cast of characters… but it starts slow with just seven iconic heroes.

Finally you can always just read more fanfic.

Here are some of my favourite DC fanfic writers:

FabulaRasa

Skalidra

Mithen

BuckinghamAlice

ohmcgee

Plus there are heaps of others out there that I either can’t remember, can’t find, or haven’t discovered. If you hunt around I am sure you’ll be able to find some cool rec lists to hit up.

Otherwise, I am really glad you liked my work and thanks so much for leaving such a lovely message. It’s always a treat to come back from work to see another pair of thumb up aimed in my direction. <3

“Charles lost the car just in front of me”

I feel like I’ve discovered the best thing, learned that it’s been going on for 4 years (albeit more) and it’s stopping before I get to understand it.

Wait. This is exactly what happened

A beautiful character manifesto in a time when manifesto no longer exist..

Doumeki Chikara

Wounds that won't stop bleeding and others that heal. The betrayal of a family.

Doumeki is one of the most complex characters we have in manga and anime. Always, when talking about Ssezuru we focus a lot on Yashiro San, he is not only the protagonist but he managed to make us all fall in love. But let's talk about Doumeki, a man who, due to his physique, already at the age of eight, stopped receiving the affection of his parents, with very beautiful and strong moral values ​​and a discipline and determination that few have. Imagine being a child wanting to be hugged and no one does? that was Doumeki. A sister arrives, who learned to love from her but grew away from her because Aoi's attitude was suspicious and for him uncomfortable. Doumeki is a man who sees everything but with his sister's situation he wanted to be blind. Perhaps because he was young, too young to face it. That your sister fell in love with you? It must be something very difficult to process. We can't blame him, he was just an affectively deprived teenager.

The trauma

The boy who was raped and didn't realize it.

Doumeki who as a young man beginning his adolescence was raped by a school employee, his physique was perhaps that of a man but his mind was not and he develops a paralysis before someone's sexual advance (for example, in the first encounter with Yashiro San, his attitude of becoming completely still when Yashiro attacks him may be a product of his trauma, just like with the teacher, he did not push him away at the time of inappropriate contact).

The betrayal of a father.

Her sister was not sexually assaulted by a stranger or a teacher, it was his biological father who assaulted her. A father who perhaps even physically resembled the two. Perhaps Doumeki did see the signs of abuse but decided to ignore them and reacted impulsively like anyone else, he protected his sister from him. I come, but...

The betrayal of a sister and the forgetfulness of a mother in silence.

Doumeki decided to keep quiet, asked them not to say anything and assumed all the blame to protect her family from public ridicule, in Japan and the world the image is very important but, as a mother and as a sister, you are going to allow your 21-year-old son, a magnificent student , skilled, intelligent and with a bright future ahead, rot in jail for "the public image"? that's what happened... his sister who could have gone to the police, his mother who could have refused her son's decision and protected him... both were silent. Doumeki lost everything he had built and a silent fear grew in him.

The fear of being a rapist...

The phrase "you can see that they are mother and son", "like father like son", Doumeki took it very seriously and turned off all sexual desire thinking that he could become like his father, dead in life, decided to keep everything.

The arrival of his light...

upon leaving prison, I always thought that Doumeki would no longer see women in the same way and that is one of the reasons for looking at Yashiro, he could no longer see women in a sexual way, because in all those faces he would see Aoi, her sister, being raped and thus he falls in love with a complicated, twisted, dysfunctional man but who gives him a home, security and sees in him something that no one else had seen: tenderness, innocence, purity . Yashiro treats Doumeki tenderly, lovingly and with a childish attitude, unable to resist he begins to desire him and feels guilty about it, thinking that every time he touches him, he rapes him. Yashiro intervenes and tells him that no, you are not equal to your father, you are pure. A phrase that would change his life. But... Yashiro immerses himself in a crusade to return Doumeki to a home since he does not want him to enter the dark and rotten world of the yakuza, he tries to protect him without understanding or knowing all Doumeki's suffering. . Doumeki has no one, he does not want to return to his family because deep down he knows that he was abandoned by all family and friends, he does not want to return to the police who, knowing the events of the case, left him to rot in jail instead of starting an investigation, his future He sees him next to only one person, his love, Yashiro San.

Yashiro leaves Doumeki.

There are no sadder chapters than the entire sequence of events from when Yashiro leaves him behind in the apartment until he wakes up in the hospital. Doumeki's sense of loss and emptiness makes him make a decision: he will not move away, he will remain in the same world as the person he loves... distant and patient but in pain, bleeding relentlessly from a wound that he does not heal...

The reunion and a love that does not end.

Again Doumeki meets Yashiro who apparently has forgotten him, has not changed at all and continues with his bad habits but he continues with his advances. However, in the process he is being hurt, hoping that Yashiro expresses his feelings and at the end of all this nightmare that his life has been, they choose him, but not just anyone, but Yashiro, the man who gave him love and life...

He will never forget, neither the good, nor the bad, nor that they will leave him behind. So he closes his thoughts, his heart and we know nothing but his actions that seem cold and desperate. Doumeki is so young, he is only 29 years old and has been through so many terrible events, abuse and abandonment, his heart has been destroyed by all the beings he loved, respected, admired and wanted. There is only one way left for him, a path that does not stop hurting him, a path that is not yet clear, he must be strong to save what he loves most in this world but he also needs security, a place to return to, a confirmation that he is needed and needed.

I have faith that Doumeki will save Yashiro San, but also that Yashiro San will save Doumeki.

God. This is gorgeous. The symbolism is crazy
