Literally a “homegrown” talent, HOM began her manga career as a hobby while she was working in media and game design. Her science fiction manga The Searcher won a Golden Comic Award for Best Up-and-Coming Artist in 2011. Meanwhile, HOM had been posting comics about real life and real people on her Facebook page, gradually amassing a fan base. Those comics eventually became Big City, Little Things, the series which has come to define her style and artistic acumen.
