Taiwanese comic artist Jinshu's work 'Ashen Garden,' depicting the emotional bond between warriors and vampires, has garnered attention recently amid the increasing number of Yuri manga releases. The editor at Comic Star, Tan Shunxin, not only assisted Jinshu in refining the story but also played a crucial role in discovering Jinshu early on. 'Ashen Garden,' featuring the powerful warrior 'Bersa' and vampire 'Aegnis' in a subtle romance against a medieval European backdrop, has accumulated over 65,000 views on Comic Star, consistently ranking in the top 10 of the popularity charts. Shunxin, previously involved in editing the Yuri manga 'Beyond the Cat and the Sea,' recalled stumbling upon Jinshu's delicate Yuri creation on social media, acknowledging the potential and eventually inviting Jinshu to collaborate. Jinshu, honored by Shunxin's invitation, initially kept the idea of 'Ashen Garden' in mind until half a year later when the inspiration for the story struck, leading to a formal collaboration with Comic Star after a matchmaking event at Taiwan's Comic Base. Shunxin's assistance with story arrangement, character enhancement, and maintaining engaging plotlines has been instrumental in developing 'Ashen Garden.'
