Kato & Iwaki

Youji Kato and Kyosuke Iwaki are the main characters (and main couple) of Youka Nitta's manga Haru o Daiteita. Instead of releasing a 2008 calendar for the series, separate calendars were released for each character. Here are some more pics from the calendars (which are coordinated by month) as well as a random, bonus pic of the two.

Artist Spotlight: Youka Nitta

Youka Nitta is a yaoi manga artist best known for the series Haru o Daiteita (aka Embracing Love), the story of the relationship between two (masculine) adult film actors. This manga is currently being released in the U.S. by Be Beautiful.

Almost all of the artwork in this post features the characters in Harudaki (the nickname for the manga). The final four pieces at the end are from other works by this incredible artist.
