Hey, do you mind signing comments in the future? It's just nice so I can get to know repeat commenters ^_^.
Like Sanzo is to Goku, and Komyou is to Sanzo, Komyou is also to Ukoku. If you want to learn more about this, I strongly suggest watching the Saiyuki Burial OVAs.
I'm not watching the Saiyuki anime, largely because I like the series art too much and don't like the animation as much. Also, the Burial arc stories are all in Reload as well.
I am reading Sanzo as the setting sun, given that he has been referenced as the sun throughout the entire series.
The reason why Minekura doesn't write females is because most of her publishing/stories are yaoi, and if not directly yaoi, they have very heavy malexmale overtones. She dislikes women in her stories, especially as love interests.
Yes, but even yaoi doesn't mean the mangaka has to exclude women or to write badly characterized women, as can be seen by Fujiyama Hyouta and Konno Keiko and Yoshinaga Fumi, all of whom write sympathetic women even in their yaoi works. I also have a problem with authors who do dislike women in their stories, whatever the reason. The women don't necessarily have to be love interests, and limiting them to that role is demeaning.
