Yaoi-Con is very proud to welcome back mangaka Ayano Yamane as a guest of honor for its 10^th anniversary show!

When Yamane-sensei came to Yaoi-Con in 2004, she was a rising star in the BL industry. Six years later, she is now arguably the genre's brightest star, renowned for her detailed, beautiful art and sexy stories.

Whether it's her manly semes like Finder's Asami, Crimson Spell's Havi or Ikoku Irokoi Romantan's Albert Valentine or fiesty ukes like Akihito, Prince Vald or Ranmaru, we love Yamane-sensei's attention to detail, sense of humor and steamy love scenes. And we're sure you will too!
