Why she might be annoying:

    She has an enormous obsession for manga.
    When asked who her favorite professional wrestler was, she said: 'I would have to say that I like Dump Matsumoto. 'It hurts to be this violent!' as she often says.'
    She would like to be reincarnated as a manga artist, even though she is one.
    During her early years as a manga artist, she missed meals, dealt with strict schedules, and often found no success.
    Even her parents tried to dissuade her from her chosen career.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She eventually found success with her hit series 'Urusei Yatsura.'
    She's considered 'The Princess of Manga,' for she was the first woman to earn success in Japanese male-oriented comics.
    She's one of the wealthiest women in Japan.
    Her characters are unique because they break with the more established archetypes found in most anime and manga.
    She has large fan-bases in Japan and North America.
