Her manga Mashiro no Oto has been nominated for the 4th Manga Taishō.

I had a bit of a problem with this manga - too little action, too much talking/exposure. If the author wanted to go that deep into the character of the murderer, it would have been better if she wrote a novel and not a manga. For a comic book, it was way too slow, just people sitting around and talking. I wasn't interested in Joey's background, I wanted to see more of Mel and Kain. This whole book could have been cut into one or two acts. Also, this volume ends with a cliffhanger so if you want to avoid that, buy the 4th (and last) book too.
