NATSUKI TAKAYA

Above and beyond drawing my creations, I try to incorporate some kind of message. I try not to end as merely a question but try to provide a conclusion within the work.

I'm the sort of person that doesn't really have specific 'inspiration.' It probably comes more from my doubts and my desires.

As a child, because manga was always around and I was reading it, I naturally thought, 'Hey, I'd like to draw manga - I'd like to be a manga author!'

Before and after my debut, I've helped out other manga artists from time to time, but I have no experience of being exclusively an assistant. Nor have I done individual or self-published manga.

Simply put, I'm glad that manga as an expressive form is expanding.

I think that nationality has no relation to that which gives rise to manga. Even among the Japanese, manga creators are making their creations everyday reflecting their own individuality, with none being the same. What is important isn't the differences between the creators but their love for manga.

Give them back! Give my tears back, right now——with interest!!

Sometimes...I just want to run away from it all

You must always be yourself, and do things at your own pace. Someday, you'll catch up.

Just be yourself and you'll be fine

Kyo: Of course, I'll beat YOU, too! Yuki: Don't you ever get tired of saying that? Kyo: Beating you is my vocation! It's my goal in life! Yuki: It's so unfair that I keep having to take abuse just because you can't meet your goals. Kyo: THAT CONDESCENDING ATTITUDE OF YOURS REALLY PISSES ME OFF! Yuki: And that revolting thought process of yours pisses me off.

I love the stars. Because they can't say anything. I love the stars. Because they do not judge anyone.

People aren't born with kindness, it grows with them.

He gets hurt by the smallest touch. It'll be okay, as long as there will finally be a day. Eventually, one day. It will be good if all our burdens would finally be released. I really hope you can do it. I hope you two can both live happily.

It's lonely to say goodbye. Very lonely. Partings are the beginnings of new meetings. Beginnings happen because there are endings…Meetings. Beginnings. It's not too late…to believe in them after the fact.

It's because you're like that that you're still a virgin, you know.

Kyo Sohma: angrily pointing at Yuki Just like I'll beat you one of these days Yuki: looking bored Wait wait I think I've heard this one before

Shigure Sohma: singing High school girls high school girls all for me High school girls

It's all very simple. But maybe because it's so simple, it's also hard.

Ayame: Hello, Tori-san!! You're not going to believe what Yuki just told me!

If you want to stop me you're going to have to came at me like your going to kill me." -Hatsuharu
