Yasuko Aoike

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Yasuko Aoike (青池 保子, Aoike Yasuko, born July 24, 1948, in

shōnen-ai. She is included in the Year 24 Group.[1]

Aoike grew up as the youngest child in a large family (including five sisters and a brother) that owned a construction company, so in her childhood she was surrounded by the strong men employed by the company. Her father, an amateur artist who had studied ink wash painting under a master of the Southern School style, was a great influence on Aoike.

Aoike made her professional debut at the age of 15 in

Lala magazine in the 1980s.[4]

She is best known for From Eroica with Love, which has been serialized by Akita Shoten since 1976 and has produced several spinoff series. It was licensed in English by CMX, which published 15 volumes from 2004-2010.[5][6] In 1991 Aoike was awarded the Japan Cartoonists Association Award's Excellence Award for Alcazar.
