Youka Nitta Cancels Yaoi-Con Appearance
Dated: 14 Jul 2008
An announcement over at the Yaoi Con LiveJournal community states that yaoi mangaka Youka Nitta– the same one who was recently under fire for her use of various fashion photographs in creating her own BL works –will no longer be attending this year’s Yaoi Con, as previously planned. Nitta had attended the event in 2002 (as well as New York Comic Con 2006) and was probably looking forward to returning to the States.
Fans are already resigning themselves to the lack of Nitta and suggesting replacement guests for the con, which is running September 26-28 in San Francisco.
