Critics and scholars often count her among the Year 24 Group, a nebulous group of female artists considered to have revolutionized shōjo manga (Japanese comics for girls) in the 1970s. She made her professional debut in 1964 at the age of 14 with her short story Picnic (ピクニック, Pikunikku), published by Shueisha in the Spring Break Special issue of Ribon.
