Fujimaki attended Tokyo Metropolitan Toyama High School and enrolled in Sophia University.[1]
In 2011, on Nikkei Entertainment's list of most successful manga artist's he ranked 25th.[2]
On October 16, 2013, threatening letters were sent to Fujimaki and high schools and colleges affiliated with him. The letters carried the message "If you do not stop the parody manga, you will get hydrogen sulfide", accompanying unknown powder substances.[1] After the arrival of many other threat letters, Fujimaki eventually stated that he will continue the manga "no matter what".[3] On December 16, 2013, the suspect was finally arrested. Not an acquaintance of Fujimaki, he told the police that he was "jealous of [author's] success."[4][5][6]
