Shinjo Mayu was the first shoujo mangaka I became addictive to when I started reading mangas. I was attracted to the smut factor. Then very quickly, I became annoyed with her weak heroines and abusive heroes. I rediscovered her with her latest series after she quitted her former publisher. If you read now her stories after that time, it's like a new fresh air. I loke a lot what she's drawing now, even though there's so very few smut. But her heroes are now very lovable and heur girls have some backbone. Plus her art has become even more prettier. You can feel that she really draws now what she likes, unlike in the past where all her storylines were the same and the couples were always with a weak girl and macho abusive guy.
