Yua Kotegawa published her first manga as a professional artist in May 1995, titled Ottori Sōsa, in a special issue of the manga magazine Young Jump. Originally intended as a short story, "Ottori Sōsa" was published in individual chapters in Young Jump until 2000 and comprises over 2,100 pages.
After completing Ottori Sōsa, Kotegawa began Anne Freaks, which became her best-known work and was published in Shōnen Ace magazine, for which Yoshiyuki Sadamoto and CLAMP also worked. Anne Freaks was translated into French, English, and German, among other languages, and ended in 2002 after more than 650 pages.[3]
Kotegawa followed this up with Arcana and Shikeishu 042 for Shueisha Publishing, as well as the One Shot Line for Kadokawa Shoten Publishing, also published in German and English. Line is about a girl who learns about future suicides via her cell phone and subsequently tries to prevent them.[2][4]
