"Death Note" is supposed to be her first "gensaku"-work, which was why she changed her name to be credited as an author.

You mean it’s a false name? Reading Death Note, I'm so surprised at how much it appeals to female readers. It has those yaoi vibes and just really clicks with me, I can't really explain why. I keep thinking Death Note is too good to be a shonen manga. Occasionally I feel that way about other shonen titles, so I thought it was just a coincidence. Does anyone else feel that way about Death Note?
So there's a mystery and hidden name situation behind the creators themselves lol. Curiouser and curiouser.
Can you explain "gensaku" to an idiot like me who left her Japanese dictionary in storage?
