Tsurita Kuniko was born on October 25, 1947 in Takasago, Japan. She passed away from lupus on June 14th, 1985 at the age of 37.
Tsurita experienced numerous rejections from other magazine contests who expected women to only work on shoujo and romance stories before becoming the first woman ever published in Garo in 1965. She wasn't a professional yet, which was unusual for the magazine.
She wrote her last story, Flight, which was published in Young Jump, while in the hospital.
Her work touches upon harassment, misogyny, death and loneliness.
