+ Gousetsu Chitai +
Gousetsu Chitai is one of the first few SasuSaku circles I've discovered. She had done very few Naruto doujinshi, probably less than 10 (copy-bons included), and most of these are comedy ones focusing on Sasuke and Sakura. And this is good, seeing as most SasuSaku doujinshi are very angsty. Her art is uber cute, and she has a talent of giving really cute and hilarious expressions for her characters, especially Sakura. XD All in all, she is a circle I really enjoy!

+ Heiwa Koubou +
Heiwa Koubou is a circle I actually had the honour of meeting when I went to Japan back in 2001. She was probably one of the oldest SasuSaku circles around, releasing her first SasuSaku doujinshi back in the late 2000. Unfortunately, she stopped producing doujinshi after May 2001 because she had to attend law school. And she didn't return as a doujinshi artist until last year. But by then, she had already moved onto other fandoms. (She is currently active in the Prince of Tennis, Gundam Seed, and Harry Potter fandoms.) Artwork-wise, her linings are somewhat messy and sketchy, and she does seem to have some trouble drawing certain expressions at certain angles (all of which could be improved with time and experience). But overall, she manages to give her characters a very pretty look. Though I must point out she is quite talented at paintings. I find her paintings much more interesting than any of her CG or B/W illustrations. Oh, and her stories tends to be very rabu-rabu. Most of the SasuSaku stories she had done are romance comedy.

+ Honey Canon +
Honey Canon is one of the circles that I discovered very recently. And boy, was I surprised that I've completely missed such a wonderful circle. She seems to be relatively new in the Naruto fandom, releasing her first Naruto doujinshi in 2003. Unfortunately for us SasuSaku fans, while SasuSaku does seem to interest her, many other characters seem to hold her interest as well. (I have seen at least two non-SasuSaku Naruto doujinshi by her, a Kimimaro-centric doujinshi and a Naruto-centric doujinshi.) Her artwork is very clean, soft, and delicate, filled with lots of shading. Story-wise, she does a bit of everything, from romance comedy to angsty drama stories. Oh, and I must point out that Honey Canon, for some reason, prefers to draw her characters without their hitai-ate. Out of the two doujinshi, only one out of seven stories actually has Sasuke and Sakura wearing their hitai-ate.

+ Konjou Kumiai +
Konjou Kumiai is the most popular Sasuke x Sakura circles in the Naruto fandom. She had done quite a number of books of this pairing. Yet she had also done various other Naruto doujinshi labelled as other pairings, even some m/m ones. But from what I've seen, her non-SasuSaku doujinshi, especially her so-called yaoi ones, had no romance between those characters. They consist only of interactions between the two labelled characters. Most of her SasuSaku stories are really serious, and perhaps even dark, with a pinch of romance here and there. So while her artwork is probably one of the best in the SasuSaku fandom, don't expect a lot of sap from her. (Cheryl's side note: But a sexy Sasuke is enough to make up for everything. ^_^)
