Elaborations:

My pen name is Natsuko.  I never tell me real name.....

As you saw, I'm 13, which is pretty young for an artist.  I look at other people's art and it's hard for me not to get discouraged and remember that they're older than me.

As I said, my favorite anime is probably Mamono Hunter Yohko, the plot's pretty cool and the characters are great.  I'm going to have a page on it soon.

For manga, I have read translations of PQ Angels off of the internet and I really am trying to find a manga of it.  I got an issue of Nakayosi and it wasn't in it ((I was sad.)).  Another in-genius brain-child of Naoko-sama!!  I'm going to maybe make a page on PQ Angels.  As for SM and clamp...I have read translations of SM and I am getting MixxZine.  MixxZine has a pretty accurate translation of both MKR and BSSM.

Artists...well, I really like  Clamp and Naoko Takeuchi's art's grace and beauty, most shoujo manga that I have found are more cute than really elegent.  Not to say Naoko is without fault, I have found a few errors in the manga before ((i.e. lacking a finger, messed up hands, and some messed up bodies)).  But hey, imperfections give character!!!

As for my inspiration...H-ko-chan is probably my biggest inspiration.  Not to kiss her butt or anything, but she really is.  She was one of my first friends when everyone else was spreading rumors about me ((I was not new to the school, but new to like this sub-section of the school, hard to explain.))  I was shy and she was very nice, but back to the subject.  Her art is VERY good and it makes me horridly angry when she puts it down!   She just is a very good friend and always complements my drawings ((even if they are horrid)).  Hehe, well, anyways, H-ko:  N-ko says thanks!
