[5] Boys Over Flowers was serialized in Shueisha's bi-weekly Margaret magazine from October 1992 to September 2003 and was collected into 37 volumes.

Many people commended Kamio for her realistic portrayal of high school life and everyday violence through the Boys Over Flowers series.

The anime series has been broadcast in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Italy, and has also been licensed and released in the United States.

However, in February 2000, at a manga artist conference in Taipei, Kamio announced that she would continue writing Boys Over Flowers.

In it she tells the story about a former child actress who starts attending an alternative school after years of withdrawal from society.

[10][11][12] A one-shot story sequel to Boys Over Flowers was published in the 2006 issue 15 of Margaret magazine, showing an update on the adventures of the main characters Tsukushi Makino and the F4.

Kamio's next series was Matsuri Special, which debuted in the first issue (November 2007) of Jump Square, a shōnen manga magazine.
