V.1 of the original release also includes the short piece Shouma (聖魔); v.2 contains Jaten Gouma Kou (邪天降魔行).

Akita Shoten also published a two-volume novelization [text by Rihito Arao (新生璃人)], and there was a related CD drama series.  A short live-action TV series titled Onmyouji Abeno Seimei:  Outo Ayakashi Kitan (陰陽師  安部清明  王都妖奇譚) was also based on this comic.

Burai seems to have a complicated publication history.  The following two listings seem to be best considered as separate titles, although obviously they are connected, and in some cases apparently even have some of the same contents.

Burai:  Mato Kakusei (無頼  魔都覚醒)

Kadokawa Shoten (角川書店):  Asuka Comics (あすかコミックス)

Iwasaki mentioned on her web site that some of the pieces serialized under this title in Asuka Mystery DX were not included in this edition.  However, there seem to be no plans for a third volume to be released.

Other Works:

Iwasaki created the adventure comic Romangari* (浪漫狩り) 1-7 and its prequel Romangari Zero* (浪漫狩り  Zero), both published by Akita Shoten under Princess Comics.  Lupin Étude (ルパン・ エチュード) 1-3, released under Princess Comics Gold, was of course based on the works of Maurice Leblanc, but appeared to be considered romance rather than mystery.

Like so many female comics artists, she also adapts romance novels:

All were published by Harlequin (ハーレクイン), now HarperCollins Japan (ハーパーコリンズ・ ジャパン), under Harlequin Comics (ハーレクインコミックス).  Many of Iwasaki's romance titles have been released electronically and in English translation.

Iwasaki illustrated Komito Kasukabe (春日部こみと)'s romance novel Uragiri no Kishi wa Ai o Kou* (裏切りの騎士は愛を乞う), published by Eastpress (イースト・プレス).  She also did some of the art for Gyosei (ぎょうせい)’s Himitsu no Namae Naani (ひみつのなまえなあに), volume 7 of their Petit Famille series.  And she illustrated the Kachi-kachi Yama (かちかちやま) picture book written by Kaneyoshi Nakayama (中山兼芳) and published by Gakken (学研出版).
