==Trivia==
* Amano's favorite episode is Episode 1 "when Ron and Toto meet as it feels like the beginning of a story about the duo." Further, she enjoys the Island Observatory Murder Case because it was the first time she wrote a lengthy case; she also likes it because it reveals Ron's secret and progresses the story to the "next stage.":File:RKDD Amano, Azakami, Enoki Interview 1.png
* While writing Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective, Amano tries not to have any overlapping tricks to other mystery media. She is also careful not to repeat similar tricks within the series.:File:RKDD Amano, Azakami, Enoki Interview 2.png
* She always thought it would be nice to write a mystery manga one day. Her editor, Mr. Momiyama, eventually encouraged her to try her hand at it, and "through a series of good fortunes, including meeting Mr. Asami, who collaborated with [her] in creating the tricks," Amano decided to start writing Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective.
* Amano has many favorite characters in Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective and thinks that Amamiya is a "fun character to draw." She likes that Amamiya is so honest and works hard.
* She was "moved" when she heard Yōhei Azakami and Junya Enoki as Ron and Toto together. Though Amano did not "have an image in mind from the beginning," she was convinced they were perfect for the roles when she heard them interact.
