Oh, my ramblings must be quite confusing then. Thank you for reading it, despite the manga fangirl slang. I think, I overused the term shojo, so here is an explanation if you're interested: Manga are sometimes classified by the sex of their writers and audience. Shojo-manga are desighned for women and most shojo artists are female too. The drawings are usually very elaborate and the characters are over the top pretty. There are tons of different shojo manga, but most feature some kind of romance at least as a sideplot. A lot of shojo manga are full of sexist stereotypes, but there is some cute stuff too. Like that slash has it's own very popular sub genre.
I think it's quite interesting that in asia women play a far bigger part in comic art and fandom than in europe or the US. And that it results in a whole industry, dedicated to provide pretty gay boys for female fans :)
I'd love to see her draw Spike as well, but unless she does a cover for Angel: After the Fall, I doubt it will happen somehow. I'll just keep hoping. If the series keep going for while, everything's possible.
