Anyone who reads Japanese?
Anyone who reads Japanese on right now?
If so, could you go to this page on Kazuya Minekura's website and let me know what, if anything, it says about her doujinshi days? If I've got it right, Studio Backgammon was her doujinshi circle, and they released stuff including, I think, the original doujinshi that Saiyuki was. Confirmation or busting of that would be quite, quite welcome. :D

◆読切り『最遊記』第１話［ＥＮＩＸ／Ｇファンタジー］
Exc Trans: ENIX/G fantasy of 'Asoshil' the first-Yoki story
It looks like it's all pro material, an then doujinshi based on her pro material...which doesn't seem to pre-date much.
When all else fails...there's yahoo Japan

I could maybe translate it, but it would take several days, and I make no promises on accuracy. So, in other words, I wouldn't exactly be helpful. xD;; But I too am curious about her doujinshi work, especially the original Saiyuki. I'll look at the page again and see if I can glean anything.

Well, I was able to discover that she is indeed female, so, uh, huzzah for that. xDD But it looks as if that list of her works only includes titles that have been professionally published. So no doujinshi info, it looks like (definitely no mention of Saiyuki prior to '97).

Whoever this is, I like her. "Life support system tobacco" indeed.

Re: Blankly the tobacco blowing
We should sponsor a constest wherein entrants pick a doujinshi titles and merely describe the contents thereof.
Re: Blankly the tobacco blowing
I also like Life Support System Tobacco.

etc... indeed it's not perfect, but it does make a sort of sense. Plus it has the advantage of having some great semi-translated oddities that are very charming.
For extra fun, I sometimes take something interesting in English and push it through several translations on Babelfish and back to English, to see what sort of strange translations I can get out of it. Usually the results are dull, but occasionally something brilliant pops up.

"So I was told in high school It's about time you made up your mind what you want to do. And I thought Enh what do I want? Don't wanna go to university don't wanna start working (basically I was too dumb to do either.) So with pounding heart I sent some manga off to a publishing company and luckily they gave me a prize for it. That was my big accomplishemnt in second year of high school.
Great, now I don't ever have to do that awful studying again, I thought happily. Only once you become a mangaka you spend your life studying things you need to know."
Trust Kagenami for the facts. Second year high school would make Minekura 17 as things normally go, meaning 1992. Studio Backgammon was her circle, and she did several series in it, some that got published like WA and others that didn't. The first Backgammon art book has a number of pictures from something called Diorama that I think has never appeared professionally.
