is she still working? i love her works but after royal 17 and lovenista i haven't heard of her anymore!

Dunno. Don't care.
May be she has realized she will never be able to be a mangaka and decided to stop writing manga?

Comments from MU's mangaka page:

Daughter of IDE Chikae. Was taken to court for suspected plagiarism by Takashima Kazusa but the judge ruled in Kayono's favor and threw the case out. It is suspected by some that her influential mother had a part in it.

Writes some other shojo series and yaoi under the name "Atomu".

Comments from another site :

Kayono has been accused of plagiarism. One accusation has been that she copied and traced famous Calvin Klein ads, as well as scenes from a yaoi series by TAKASHIMA Kazusa.

However, Calvin Klein hasn't sued her and she won the lawsuit brought against her by TAKASHIMA Kazusa.

She has a very bad image =.=

Don't care for her or her manga.
