During her early school years she read books by foreign authors, including Beverly Cleary’s Ramona series, Anne of Green Gables, and Judy Blume’s young adult novels. While in junior high school Yuzuki had a serious illness, and during her recovery she read the novel Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto, which convinced her to read more Japanese literature.

Yuzuki’s fourth Naoki Prize nomination came in 2017, when her novel BUTTER was nominated for the 157th Naoki Prize. BUTTER, a story about a reporter investigating a woman accused of luring men with her cooking and then killing them, was loosely based on an actual series of suspicious deaths of middle- aged men that led to murder convictions and a death sentence for Kanae Kijima. Yuzuki did not win the 157th Naoki Prize, as the award went to Shogo Sato.
