豆知識
- She impulsively bought a Siberian Husky and once took a one-year 'dog-raising leave' from writing.
- In the 'Yuta's House' series the dog refers to itself as 'ore' (a rougher masculine first-person), a choice that was defended despite publisher concern.
- Her representative works include many series themed around dogs.
