Youka Nitta (新田祐克), born March 8, 1971, 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.[1] Her first manga story, "GROUPIE", was published by Biblos in 1997.[2] She believes in characters not always having to be the seme or uke,[3] and her Embracing Love has been called the first title available with a "reversible" couple in English.[4] 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.[5] Nitta attended the 2002 Yaoi-Con[6] and the 2006 New York Comic Con but cancelled her planned appearance at the 2008 Yaoi-Con in the aftermath of the tracing scandal.[7]
