Arina Tanemura began her manga career in 1996 at the early age of 18, when her short stories debuted in Ribon magazine.

Tanemura gained notoriety with the 1997 publication of I-O-N, a high school romance with a supernatural twist.

From 1998 to 2000, she worked on the popular series Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, about a young girl who is the reincarnation of Joan of Arc, followed by Time Stranger Kyoko in 2000-2001 and Full Moon o Sagashite in 2002.
