Once she was married and her child entered kindergarten, Kazuki had more free time, which she used to start writing again.[2] From 2013 onwards, she started publishing her novel Ascendance of a Bookworm on the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō which saw success. In 2015, she officially debuted with said series under the T.O. Books imprint.
