Wombs is not Yumiko Shirai's first series to be published in France. Indeed, a few years ago, Rafnas, was published by Komikku, but unfortunately, the series did not have the success deserved. In addition, Tenkensai, his first work allowed him to win an encouragement prize at the "Japan Media Arts Festival". Wombs, his best-known work, was also awarded. Indeed, the year she finished the last volume, her manga received the "Japanese Grand Prix of Science Fiction". This prize had not been awarded to a manga for almost 10 years. The latter allows the mangaka to enter the closed circle of mangakas rewarded with Dômu, rêves d'enfants by Katsuhiro Otomo and Barbara Ikai from Moto Hagio.
