Shogakukan’s My First Big label is used for inexpensive digest editions directed at men, but since it does not contain any original contents as far as I know, it is included for the sake of completeness.  My First Casual appears to also be a digest edition, although it is directed at women.  Again, this release does not appear to contain any original material.

Yami no Purple Eye was also released as an audio cassette, an animated "image" video, and a series of six novels [text by You Nakaike (中池葉)].  There was an associated illustration book.

The series was translated into Chinese by Daran (大然) as Mo Ying Zi Guang (魔影紫光).

The title was once commonly translated as "The Dark of the Sea, the Light of the Moon," though one of the CDs, at least, had the translation "The Darkness of the Sea, the Shadow of the Moon" on it.

Other Works

Shinohara's latest girls' series, Yume no Shizuku, Kin no Torikago (夢の雫、 黄金の鳥籠) 1-11, does not appear to be considered horror or mystery by Shogakukan.  Shogakukan has made this series available electronically.

The Shinohara Chie Kyoufu Collection (篠原千絵恐怖コレクション) was released in two volumes under My First Big, and the Shinohara Chie Kyoufu Theater (篠原千絵恐怖シアター) in three volumes under My First Casual.  The two series seem to have at least some of the same contents.

In addition to her comics, Shinohara wrote the novel series Kaette Kita Musume (還ってきた娘) 1-6, twice published by Shogakukan.  She also wrote novels for both Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori and Akatsuki ni Tatsu Lion (see above).

For the truly obsessed fan, or random cat lover, Shinohara was one of the artists involved in the Shoujo Mangaka-san Chi no Neko (少女まんが家さんちの猫), a photo gallery of the pet cats of ten girls’ comics artists.
