Stigma is notable for being a full-color work, unusual as manga is generally drawn in black and white.

Minekura portrays herself as a naked chibi character with brown hair, in the Artist's Talk section of her manga.

On September 28, 2010, she went on hiatus to undergo surgery for ameloblastoma on the right half of her upper jawbone.

Everything that she created from her time as a doujinshi artist was converted into the major works that she is known for today.

She uses a lot of shadow screen tones; one example is the hard-boiled series Bus Gamer.
