Biography

Ono began creating dōjinshi (self-published manga) after graduating from high school. In 2001, she completed a ten-month study abroad program in Italy, studying the Italian language.[2] In 2003, upon her return to Japan, she began to create the webcomic series La Quinta Camera. It was subsequently serialized in the magazine COMIC SEED! and later published as a single tankōbon volume by Shogakukan under their Ikki Comics imprint.

Ono's works have been published in English by Viz Media since 2010.[3]

Style

Ono is distinguished by her loose, minimalist drawing style,[4] and for the characteristic wide mouths of her figures.[5] She typically writes slice of life stories focused on interpersonal relationships,[4] with travel used as a frequent plot and thematic device.[5]
