High School

During elementary school, Akiko was often bullied for being "overly friendly" and "intrusive", which caused her to recede into keeping herself away from her classmates. She went to art therapy and used drawing as a means of expressing her pain, anxiety, and desire to make friends. It was through this that she discovered her talent for drawing, and decided to pursue it. Before she was brought into Hope's Peak, she managed to publish seven one shot mangas and 5 volumes of her first series.
