Google on which website? Can you please share the link so that I can put an ease to my heart. Please don't tell me it's myanimelist. That is the only website says Harada is female. Bakamangaupdates says gender unknown.any other site I find says the same.only recently on chil chil BL manga award I find Harada is called Mr hareza as Google translate says. so that's a bit confusing. If you can please try to give particular information.
well im french so when i google "harada mangaka" all the websites say "une auteur" which means that she's a woman (or it would've been "un auteur")
http://imayaoiste.eklablog.fr/harada-a127747264 (une femme = a woman)
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Harada (her works)
Old Xian is female, she has been photographed at her book signing event.
I'm certain that Old Xian is female because when in 2016 it was announced that 19 days will be addapted as a drama she was present in some concert or something in person. In fact, she is actually a very pretty lady who only draws herself as a man in Mosspaca and in weibo, her gender is male. Still there is confusion about such a legendary writer as Harada is quite a shock. I wish she appears in some renouned BL festival or something where she clears the misconceptions about her.
Try it's John. Here's their profile on bakaupdates

Lmao yeah thanks (for the explanation). And I didn't end it in a serious note either... I already mentioned "even tho you don't mean to be"(○゚ε゚○)
But yeah, the person's response is "natural".
Honestly it's nice to think of fudanshis who don't act as gayphobic (not even homophobic)... I really respect male seiyuus, drama actors and others who do bl and bl(ish), and they mostly aren't gay. and the same way it makes me want to believe there are male mangaka of yaoi/shonen ai as well, that's all... And the person mentioned "BL" not bl manga, so that broadens the scope. There are many even including fanfiction writers who write bl... So I think they deserve an applause even if they are small in number.
Can anybody tell me with some actual proof that if our one and only harada sensei is a man or women? I'm really dying to know that if she's a women. Generally most of the Yaoi mangakas are women which is a fact I feel proud of. But not knowing Yaoi legend Harada if she or he is what gender don't know why troubles me. I wish such a genius jewel of Yaoi world to be a women just like Old Xian and most others.
