this is a collection of artists and works that live rent free in my brain, and explanations of why i love them so much! images here may be NSFW, so browse at your discretion.
a favorite of mine since my early teens. rokuroichi is what they go by for yuri manga, but they also do het shoujo manga under a different name. i'll only be sharing the yuri stuff here, though. they did a few collections of oneshots, as well as the yuri hime serialized manga くちびるに透けたオレンジ.

they draw absolutely beautiful girls. long lashes, full lips, soft skin... it's downright indulgent. there's a tactile lusciousness to it i can never get enough of. the hair also has really nice weight; it falls down their shoulders and gets tossed and pulled. the fingers are long and slender, and they sink into breasts and other flesh in such a way that it becomes tangible. this is especially clear in a manga (lines and screentones) presentation.

nobody does kisses like this! the way they sink and squish into each other!! i'd give more examples but most of it is very explicit sex (very vanilla lesbian, but still). highly recommend reading their manga in full.
