Shiina won the 34th Hakusensha Athena rookie debut grand prize in 2009 for her work "Maria-kun of wonder." and is currently working on the series "The world is still beautiful"(in 2013).
I think this manga marks the end of where the anime got adapted. IMO this was peak of the manga. I went a bit downhill from here but never the less I loved what has happened so far, with the uncle and Livius learning to love her more and more.
