Junko ended the Star-Crossed!! (Wota Doru: Oshi ga Watashi de Watashi ga Oshi de) manga in September 2020. The artist launched the manga in June 2019. Kodansha Comics published the four-volume manga digitally.
Junko launched the Kiss Him, Not Me (Watashi ga Motete Dōsunda) manga in Bessatsu Friend in 2013 and ended it in February 2018. Kodansha published the manga's 14th and final compiled volume in Japan in March 2018. Crunchyroll released the manga as chapters debuted in Japan, and Kodansha Comics published the manga in print. Junko published a side-story chapter for the manga in June 2018.
The manga inspired a 12-episode television anime that premiered in October 2016. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan, and Funimation streamed an English dub.
