Born in Kōriyama, she switched from having interests in manga to music as a teenager, and moved to Akihabara where she worked at a maid café before joining Dempagumi.inc.

From kindergarten, she checked four magazines – Ribon, Nakayoshi, Ciao,[7] and Weekly Shōnen Jump[8] – and from then, she saw mangaka as a dream job.

[1] She has loved reading "Tokyo Daigaku Monogatari" since his elementary school days, and she noticed that she can live with such a strange way of thinking despite its radical sexual depictions.

[11] While examining selling works and focusing on dōjin activities, she came in contact with the internet, where she started a critique site for comic magazines.

[13] While in high school, Naruse worked part-time at a Chinese restaurant, and with the salary she got there, she went to HIPSHOT JAPAN, a live house located in her native Koriyama.

[17] Naruse also said that she would often visit the Big-i observatory and think as she watched the scenery, "I love the locals [people of Koriyama] but I wanna get outta here someday".

[15] After graduating from high school, Naruse entered an art university in Tokyo hoping to get a job in manga and anime.

[20][21] She said that during her Koriyama part-time job she found it very fun to communicate with customers, and that, from the experience of being impressed by seeing people who return happily after talking to me, she was confident that she would definitely succeed in a maid café.

[22][clarification needed] Although Naruse had never sang in public before, she asked the store manager to set up a stage and performed live.

[29] About one year after she entered,[28] Naruse was invited to Dempagumi.inc by producer Maiko Fukushima,[20] and became a member on 3 June 2010 alongside Myu Atobe.

[30][31] At that time, the reason Naruse decided to join was that "Aki Hata and Masaya Koike are a group who write their own songs",[28] and she was at first active with a strong solo orientation.
