Yen Press has licensed both the Let's Go Karaoke! and Captivated, by You manga for English release.

Yen Press describes Let's Go Karaoke! :

Nothing worries Satomi Oka more than the upcoming final choir competition of his middle school career -- right up until he is accosted by a stranger from the shadows who demands, “Let's go karaoke!” As a yakuza, Kyouji Narita doesn't scare easily, but a terrifying prospect has driven him to seek Satomi's help. The boss is holding a karaoke contest, with the loser forced to get a tattoo to be selected and torturously applied by the boss himself! Oka has been to many vocal rehearsals over the years, but never one-on-one karaoke sessions with a gangster!!

Yen Press describes Captivated, by You :

Hayashi's frank, guileless demeanor quietly draws the attention of classmates and strangers as he counts all the stairs in school, photographs street signs, and dries sweet potatoes on the classroom balcony. In a world shaped by conformity, Hayashi is refreshingly and unapologetically true to himself. Conversely, Nikaidou has worked very hard to perfect a gloomy, dour façade that keeps his classmates far, far away. While much of the school regards Nikaidou as a bad omen, one student catches a glimpse behind the mask and-undeterred by rumors of bad luck and supernatural powers-begins to pick away Nikaidou's carefully crafted persona…

In 2019, Wayama published the manga "Let's Go Karaoke!" as a dojin work. Later in September 2020, it was published by Kadokawa in one volume. This manga finished in third place in the 14th Manga Taisho awards in 2021. In January 2024, a live-action film adaptation of the manga was released after being postponed from its original release date of 2023.

In February 2019, "The Captivated" was released as a dōjin publication for high school students. It contains a collection of Wayama's "Ushiro no Nikaidō" boys-love manga strips, along with a new 30-page story.

Wayama is also known for her Onna no Sono no Hoshi manga.
