She decided to dip her toes into the world of manga. Satoko Kiyuduki has dipped her hand in artwork for video games such as Yggdrasil Union as well as Knights in the Nightmare but her resume is rather small comparatively to other artists.

Shoulder-A-Coffin Kuro is a fanciful tale, however aside from its artistic presentation it is forgettable and acts more as a way to kill an afternoon than something that can be read over and over again. It must be the fact that she always carries a coffin on her back (for some yet unexplained reason) while at the same time being followed about by her smarmy bat friend named Sen. Kuro is a black clothed female who is constantly being mistaken for being a boy as well as a vampire. Told in 4-koma (four panel) style and peppered with full-color pages, Satoko Kiyuduki’s debut captures all the whimsy of the most memorable fairy tales In the company of her faithful bat friend, Sen, Kuro encounters all manner of people and places along the way. Kuro, a little tomboy garbed in pitch-black with a little-tomboy-sized coffin on her back, heads out on a journey to find a certain witch.
