Her first real dabble in the world of creating manga was in 1985 when she participated in the publication of a dōjinshi. She remained active in the dōjinshi world until she debut in 1993 with her short single "Fuyu ga Owarou Toshiteita" (Winter Was Ending) that ran in Shōgakukan's Puchi Comic magazine.

Though her current drawing style is high on the aesthetic value but her earlier works had less finesse. Regardless of the lesser emphasis on the visual elements in her earlier works, her popularity grew largely due to her unparalleled grasp for storytelling. Her works are noted for their slightly askew plots and deep exploration of the human psyche. Even her light hearted Shōjo works usually have darker underlying elements. With an incomparable ability to craft out stories that puzzle, sadden, assure, pervert, move the depths of one's heart, she has gained a cult like following.
