Said to be the "queen of doujinshi", Minami Ozaki is one of the most eminent shoujo mangaka of the 4th generation of shoujo-manga. Her debut work was "Chuusei no akashi" (Proof of loyalty), published in 1988 on Margaret. The following year, her work 3 Days was published in Margaret No.6. (Both of these can be found in Zetsuai -1989- volume 5.) At the same year (1989), she started Zetsuai -1989- and became very popular. She is now working on the sequel, Bronze -Zetsuai since 1989-. In an interview, she said she had never previously thought of being a mangaka. She describes herself as a willful, negative, conservative, petty, gloomy, nervous, forgetful, untruthful, anxious, asking-for-trouble, self-destructive, boring person.
