Yuuri Eda is a Japanese novelist and author, recognized as the original creator behind numerous works that have been adapted into manga and anime. Eda is a female writer born on July 16 in Tokyo, where she continues to reside.

Eda's professional debut came in 1996 with the short story Summer Salt, which was published in the magazine June. The work was later released as a standalone book in 2000, marking the beginning of a prolific writing career. The author uses distinct pen names for different genres, with works published as Yuuri Eda primarily falling under the boys love category, while the name Yuuri Eda written in a different script is used for light novels and general fiction.

The creator is credited as the original author for the manga I Can't Even Breathe Without You, which serves as a key example of her work being adapted into a visual format. This manga is based on her novel from the Mangaka Series, with the story first published in 2003 and the manga adaptation appearing in 2005. The manga was serialized in Be x Boy GOLD magazine before being compiled into a single volume, featuring art by illustrator Yamimaru Enjin. The narrative centers on a dependent and complex relationship between two childhood friends, a theme that aligns with the psychological depth often present in her character-driven stories.

Beyond this work, a significant number of Eda's novel series have served as source material for manga adaptations and other media. Notable among these is the Kabukibu! series, which originated as a light novel under her pen name and was subsequently adapted into both a manga series and a television anime that aired in 2017. Her extensive bibliography includes numerous other series that have been adapted, such as the Negotiator series and the Fishimura-kun series, many of which feature accompanying manga versions illustrated by various artists.

As an author, Eda is known for a diverse body of work that spans multiple genres, including fantasy, contemporary fiction, and mystery, alongside her extensive contributions to boys love literature. Her style is often noted for intricate plotting and detailed character development. By 2014, the total number of her published books across both pen names had reached 100, and she celebrated the 20th anniversary of her debut in 2020. Her career is thus defined by a sustained output as a novelist whose original concepts and narratives have been consistently realized in manga form by other artists, establishing her as a foundational creator within the publishing industry.
