Career

She made her debut as a professional manga artist with three yaoi collections after being scouted in art school. She was a student of Rachel Thorn, who provided translations for some of the English licenses of her work.[4] Her work has been praised as having unusual maturity and depth, both for yaoi and for manga in general. She is currently working on non-yaoi manga.[4]

Two of her first manga have been released in English by Aurora Publishing, which is a direct subsidiary of the Japanese publishing company Ohzora Shuppan,[5] the original publishers of one of the works in question. A third has been licensed by Net Comics. In addition, her work Tableau Numbero 20, has been released by the Viz Media imprint Sublime.
