During school, Huang Chia-Li was an active member of several comic clubs, becoming one of Tong Li Publishing’s exclusive artists after graduation. She has worked as a comic artist for many years now. Her work challenges the set image of shojo manga as just being about romance, focusing instead on local culture and everyday life. She has received many awards for her work, including the adventure story Fashion Messiah, which incorporates elements of Taiwanese folk mythology, and the short story collection Guardians Spirit, Touch.
