Shinjo made her debut at publisher Shogakukan in 1994, drawing series forShōjo Comic magazine.[2] In 2007 she left the company, noting that her editors were excessively demanding and abusive, creating a stressful work environment.[3][4][5]
In her blog, Shinjo noted that though she was the actual creator of her manga titles, she was one of the last to know about any adaptation plans for her series, even learning about some through TV channel websites instead of her editor.[6] When she decided to leave, one editor threatened to take all of her earlier series out of print, but Shinjo contacted a lawyer and the threat was never carried out.[4]
In a 2014 interview with Hikari TV's online magazine,Katte ni Dokusho Densetsu, Shinjo announced her plans to no longer write shojo manga and instead to only focus on writingBL manga.[7]
