Minami Ozaki (尾崎南, Ozaki Minami) is a Japanese

Shōnen-ai/Yaoi genres in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Her old pen name is Ryo Minami (南亮, Minami Ryo), but in 1986 she changed her pen name to Minami Ozaki. She sometimes uses other pseudonym
—Minami Himemuro (姫室ミナミ).

In 1988 (at the age of 20), her first manga series, Chūsei no Akashi (Proof of Loyalty), was serialized in

Margaret Comics
.

Her success with Zetsuai 1989 has led Helen McCarthy to describe Ozaki as "one of the queens of shojo and shonen-ai manga".[1] Through her Captain Tsubasa dojinshi, Ozaki "played a strong role" in "revamping the boys-love genre" in the 1980s.[2] Her hallmark is "prolonged erotic psychodramas" which has earned her a "cult following" through Margaret.[3] Rachel Thorn describes her as being a "mania-oriented" artist, with "extremely stylized" character designs and page layouts with a "dream-like quality".[4] Her style had an enormous influence on later shōjo writers.[5]
