is a Japanese yaoi manga artist. Although Nitta was already a fan of manga, she was introduced to yaoi manga when she was in grade five, by an older girl who was her neighbour. Her first manga story, "GROUPIE", was published by Biblos in 1997. She believes in characters not always having to be the seme or uke,〔O’Connell, M. ("Embracing Yaoi Manga: Youka Nitta" ). ''Sequential Tart''. April 2006.〕 and her ''Embracing Love'' has been called the first title available with a "reversible" couple in English.〔Wood, Andrea. (Spring 2006). "Straight" Women, Queer Texts: Boy-Love Manga and the Rise of a Global Counterpublic. ''WSQ: Women's Studies Quarterly'', 34 (1/2), pp. 394–414.〕 In 2008 it was reported that Nitta had infringed upon the copyright of advertising photographs by tracing them for illustrations in her manga ''Embracing Love''; she subsequently apologized for the misuse, as did her publisher.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-07-12/embracing-love-nitta-acknowledges-tracing-photo )〕 Nitta attended the 2002 Yaoi-Con〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Yaoi-Con 2002 Information )〕 and the 2006 New York Comic Con but cancelled her planned appearance at the 2008 Yaoi-Con in the aftermath of the tracing scandal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-07-15/youka-nitta-out-of-yaoi-con-laura-bailey-out-of-ai-kon )〕 ==Bibliography== * ''Groupie'', 1997, 1 volume * Series, 1997, 9 volumes :Series includes ''When a Man Loves a Man'' (1 volume), ''Last Waltz'' (2 volumes), ''Nightcap'' (1 volume), ''Irokoi'' (3 volumes), and ''U:V'' (2 volumes) * , 1997, 14 volumes :Licensed in English as ''Embracing Love'' by Be Beautiful * , 1998, 1 volume :Licensed in English as ''White Brand'' by Juné * , 1998, 2 volumes * , 1999, 1 volume :Licensed in English as ''Casino Lilly'' by Be Beautiful, but never released * ''17 Guyz'', 2000, 1 volume * ''Kiss of Fire'' (Embracing Love artbook), 2004, 1 volume :Licensed in English as ''Kiss of Fire'' by Digital Manga Publishing * , 2004, 3 volumes (ongoing) :Licensed in English as ''Sound of My Voice'' by Be Beautiful * , 2006, 1 volume * , 2006, 2 volumes (ongoing) :Licensed in English as ''The Prime Minister's Secret Diplomacy'' by 801 Media * , 2007, 2 volumes (ongoing) :Licensed in English as ''Otodama: Voice From the Dead'' by DokiDoki 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Youka Nitta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
