Yasashii Akuma originally ran in Hitomi CC Mystery, so I’m including it despite the fact it’s labelled as "Mysterious Fantasy" on the cover of the first release.

Please note that there are several related series by Kawaguchi and several other unrelated comics with this same title by various artists.

This series was translated into Chinese by Ever Glory (長鴻) as Wen Rou de E Mo (溫柔的惡魔).

Other Works

Kawaguchi also created the ladies’ comic Douki Ikigire Memai ni Satsujin* (動機息切れめまいに殺人), released through Tokyo Sansei Sha (東京三世社) under the Le Comics (ルコミックス ) label.

Kodansha published the ladies' titles Shi to Kanojo to Boku:  Yukari (死と彼女とぼく  ゆかり) 1-10 and Shi to Kanojo to Boku:  Meguru (死と彼女とぼく  めぐる) 1-6 under Kodansha Comics Kiss (講談社コミックスKISS).  Bunkasha (ぶんか社) released a related ladies' title, Shi to Kanojo to Boku:  Ikiru (死と彼女とぼく  イキル) 1-5.  All are presumably sequels to the original Shi to Kanojo to Boku series (see above).

Kawaguchi further contributed the short piece Ayashi no Yokikaze* (妖やしの好風) to the ladies' horror anthology Kiss in the Dark, put out under Kodansha Comics Kiss Deluxe (講談社コミックスKISSデラックス).

Umi no Sabaku (海の砂漠), Umi ni Furu Hoshi (海に降る星), Hana no Sasayaki* (花のささやき), and Watai wa Kappa (わたいはカッパ), published by Bunkasha, are all mystery titles, but are apparently not aimed at girls.  Umi no Sabaku was also released in a bunko edition.

Shogakukan (小学館) published a Kawaguchi Madoka Kyoufu Theater (川口まどか恐怖シアター) under My First Casual, a ladies’ digest edition.
