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 their manga "Let's Go Karaoke!" as a dojin work. Later in September 2020, it was published by Kadokawa in one volume. This manga finished third 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 2023.
"The Captivated" is a high school manga that was initially released as a self-published work in February 2019. It consists of one book that collects together 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.
