Kitazawa Jinko

Kitazawa Jinko (きたざわ 尋子 'きたざわ じんこ') is a BL light novelist. She has been writing since 1994, and seems to have retired, with no new works since 2010. This seems to be due to some health issues concerning her cat, Renren, and maybe having become a bit jaded about writing after 15 years.

The Fingertips Series
Takashima completed a three-volume series with Kitazawa that is often shorted to simply Yubisaki or Fingertips because it is a reoccurring word in the series' titles.

Fingertips Piled Together
The first volume in the series is Fingertips Piled Together (重ねる指先 'かさねるゆびさき'). The plot summary is as follows:"Kishimoto Maya, who attends university on a scholarship and lost his parents when he was young, recalls sweet but painful memories when he hears the sound of rain. He has a relationship with a man named Yazaki who save Maya from a predicament he was in as a high school student. As compensation for being saved, Maya was bought for one week. Though Maya had firmly decided not to remember, the business card he received at that time was still in his commuter pass case..."The additional subsequent volumes are Spoiled Fingertips and Conveying Fingertips respectively.

Characters

 * Kishimoto Maya

Publication History
All three volumes were published by Hakusensha's Hanamaru Paperback label. The first was published in December 2002, the second in June of 2003, and the final volume in December of 2003.
