A very prolific and well-known [[Manga KaMangaka]], Yuu Watase is best known as the creator of ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'' and ''[[Ayashi no Ceres]]'', both of which have been adapted into anime. She made her debut in 1989 with the oneshot ''Pajama de Ojama'' (''An Interlude in Pyjamas'') and is predominantly a writer of [[Shoujo]] series, although she has recently begun branching out into other demographics, including [[Shounen]] (''[[Arata Kangatari]]'') and [[Yaoi]] (''[[Sakura Gari]]''). She has also written some novels as well, according to [[The Other Wiki]].
 
Her first works were typically characterized by love triangles, high levels of melodrama (specially during the original ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'' era), drawn out, almost laughably [[Tastes Like Diabetes|sappy]] love scenes, and of course, plenty of [[Bishonen]]. On the other hand, when she ''does'' decide to go [[Darker and Edgier]], she does so ''hardcore'': ''[[Sakura Gari]]'' and ''[[Ayashi no Ceres]]'' have plenty of bishonen, melodrama and love triangles, but the utterly twisted and psychologically driven storyline has had people refer to her as a potential [[Magnificent Bitch]].
 
She [https://twitter.com/wataseyuu_/status/1130461270358908928?s=19 came out] as X-gender (the Japanese term for non-binary) in 2019, though she [https://officialshojobeat.tumblr.com/post/188142422969/i-heard-that-yuu-watase-came-out-as-x-gender-do still prefers to use "she" as her main pronoun in English].
 
Some of her manga works include:
 
* ''Shinshunki Miman Okotowari''
* ''[[Fushigi Yuugi (Manga)|Fushigi Yuugi]]''
** ''[[Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden (Manga)|Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden]]''
