Aruko is a manga artist known especially for romantic comedies created with other writers. She illustrates Kazune Kawahara's My Love Story!!, in which the physically imposing but kind-hearted Takeo Gouda unexpectedly begins a relationship with Rinko Yamato, overturning familiar shōjo assumptions about the romantic hero. With Wataru Hinekure she created My Love Mix-Up!, a school romance that begins with a mistaken crush and develops into a relationship between two boys. Aruko's artwork is expressive and comic, using faces and body language to make awkwardness and sincerity equally visible. My Love Story!! is the clearest route for broad shōjo romantic comedy, while My Love Mix-Up! centres a queer school romance with the same expressive visual humour. Read more Less
