While absentmindedly sketching "an odd octopus-like cat" Yamano took interest in Nekojiru's drawings, stating "it had a raw childlike appearance that wasn't filtered through adult eyes - it was cute, repulsive, and cruel-looking all at the same time." Using the sketch as a motif Yamano wrote a script and Nekojiru illustrated what would become Nekojiru Udon. She was completely self-taught, having received no formal lessons from her husband. The work was brought to Garo and was well-received by editor Maki Takaichi.
Her work would experience a surge in popularity through the subversive manga trend during the mid to late 1990's. The pop aesthetics and surreal presentation of her work began to appeal to the general public, teens in particular. The couple took any solicitations for work they could get, resulting in an incredibly arduous workload for both of them.
In April and May of 1998, Nekojiru spoke with several editors complaining about the workload and artistic limitations imposed by the new influx of work. In a call with a Hakusensha editor she reportedly stated "I'm tired of drawing manga. I want to quit and move to a developing country with my husband."
