Seiko Erisawa studied art in London. At the suggestion of a friend, she submitted a story to Comic H, which resulted in her becoming a regular contributor to the magazine from its first issue in 2000 until it ceased publication in 2004. Her work typically involves magical realist stories about high school-aged youth and has also been featured in Comic Cue. In addition to writing film reviews, her illustrations have appeared in both stories and on the covers of novels. She also maintains a daily blog at erisawa.com.
