Other Works:

Kodansha has published a couple of girls’ comics by Oohashi that do not seem to be horror/mystery:  Glass no Tenshi (ƒKƒ‰ƒX‚Ì“VŽg), under Kodansha Comics Friend, and Go-shujin-sama no Iu Toori (ŒäŽål—l‚ÌŒ¾‚¤‚Æ‚¨‚è), under Kodansha Comics Amie.  Dolls Don’t Cry, from Daitosha (‘å“sŽÐ), is also directed at girls, at least according to Oohashi’s web site.

Bunkasha published the ladies’ horror comics Mayoi no Machi (–À‚¢‚ÌŠX), Bunshin (•ªS), Ningyou Tsukai Sausine Circus Dan* (lŒ`Žg‚¢ƒTƒEƒW[ƒlE ƒT[ƒJƒX’c), Super Girl (–œ”\­—), and Oni-hime Matsuri* (‹S•PÕ‚è) under Bunkasha Comics - Horror M Series (‚Ô‚ñ‚©ŽÐƒRƒ~ƒbƒNƒXE ƒzƒ‰[‚lƒVƒŠ[ƒY).

She has also done two ladies’ horror titles together with Kei Kusunoki:  Sengoku Tsukiyo* (í‘ŒŽ–é) 1-2 and Diabolo 1-3.  Both were published by Sobisha (‘n”üŽÐ), a division of Shueisha (W‰pŽÐ), under the Crimson Comics banner, and both have been translated into English by TokyoPop, the former as Sengoku Nights.  Another ladies’ title is C:  Girls Talk* (‚b@ ƒK[ƒ‹ƒYƒg[ƒN), published by Heiwa Shuppan (•½˜ao”Å) under Heartful Comics.

But most of Oohashi’s other works are for boys and young men.  From Rapport Comics:

From Tokuma Shoten (“¿ŠÔ‘“X)’s Shounen Captain Comics (­”NƒLƒƒƒvƒeƒ“ƒRƒ~ƒbƒNƒX):

From Hakusensha (”’òŽÐ) under Jets Comics:

From Gakushuu Kenkyuu Sha* (ŠwKŒ¤‹†ŽÐ), aka Gakken (ŠwŒ¤), under Nora Comics:

Under Kodansha Comics Young Magazine:

Noir Shuppan* (ƒmƒA[ƒ‹o”Å) published GoGo Heaven (GOGO¸“V).  Shonengahosha (­”N‰æ•ñŽÐ) put out Poison Dinner* (ƒ|ƒƒ]ƒ“ƒfƒBƒi[) under YC Comics and Miko ssu!:  Taima Senmon Otome Gakuen* (›Þ—‚Á‚·I@ ‘Þ–‚ê–剳—Šw‰€) 1-3 and Kanazuchi Mermaid (‚©‚Ȃ¿ƒ}[ƒƒCƒh) 1-2 under Young King Comics.  Sister Trap (ƒVƒXƒ^[ƒgƒ‰ƒbƒv) and Himegoto were published by Takeshobo (’|‘–[) under Bamboo Comics (ƒoƒ“ƒu[ƒRƒ~ƒbƒNƒX).  Daitosha has published two collections of short works, Masu Kagami:  Oohashi Kaoru Sakuhin Shuu (^Ÿ‹¾@ ‘å‹´ŒOì•iW) and K2 Office:  Kusunoki Kei & Oohashi Kaoru Gassaku Sakuhin Shuu (‚j‚Q@ ‚‚†‚†‚‰‚ƒ‚…@ “íŒj• ‘å‹´ŒO‡ìì•iW), as well as Angel:  Glass no Tenshi (‚`‚Ž‚‡‚…‚Œ@ ƒKƒ‰ƒX‚Ì“VŽg) and Ryuukei Kyoushitsu* (—¬ŒY‹³Žº).  These all appear to be aimed at boys.

Oohashi also illustrated Kattobi Gakuen Spy Jiken (‚©‚Á‚Ƃъw‰€ƒXƒpƒCŽ–Œ) and Kattobi Gakuen Tenkousei wa Nazo Shounen!? (‚©‚Á‚Ƃъw‰€“]Z¶‚Í›“ä­”NIH) by Mizuchi Hayase (‘£‚Ý‚¸‚¿), both published as Poplar Bunko.

Apparently she has recently taken to working on video games, such as the adult titles F no Fuuin* (‚e‚Ì••ˆó) put out by Girl’s Software and Sei Famires Gakuen* (¹ƒtƒ@ƒ~ƒŒƒXŠw‰€) from Blacklight.

And Gakken has released her first art book, Box.
