Aoki is a manga creator who used to work for a shoujo magazine called Margaret Magazine, until she was advised to switch over to a shounen magazine. Over at Shounen Jump, she worked with Nakai on her series Hideout Door. She usually bears a tough exterior and can come off as having a cold personality.

SpoilerEventually, Hideout Door's serialization is cancelled from Shounen Jump. She decides to go back to her roots, writing Shoujo manga. She remains working with Shounen Jump, but has to write a story from a male's point of view. Being personally inexperienced in romance, she turns to Takagi for advice.
