Whatever happened to her?

I believe she's still drawing... but not Yuri I think. If anyone knows of any recent yuri she's drawn, I'd like to know.

According to Mangaupdates her two last mangas are from 2012, both complete and nothing after it.

One that I'm curious about is Natsuneko, according to Mangaupdates most of her works are from 2009 and nothing after that, she just vanished.

There's actually various yuri artists who we don't have any idea what they're doing, sometimes I think we should try to discover what happened to them, if they're dead, stopped making manga or no one listed their new works on Mangaupdates, but we would need someone who knows japanese for that, not to mention who would have time for that? It's pretty much hopeless, unless we find their Twitter, Pixiv, site, email or other form of contact in one of their doujins and mangas, we're pretty much in a dead end.

Nanzaki Iku is another missing yuri artist, according to Mangaupdates her last work was Queen's Blade manga from 2011 and complete already, so as far as we know she didn't do anything new either.

Thank you both for the update, it's a shame because I love her work.

Probably these mangaka didn't really disappear.

They just published yuri stories under a different pen name than their usual, like Shou/Akili. Unless the editor discloses it, there's no way for Mangaupdate to know aliases.

I could see Chi-Ran going into stuff like commercial illustration, which would probably be more lucrative than manga one-shots. But that's just wild speculation.

Well some could be using another pen name but some artists like the ones already mentioned , Chi-ran, Natsuneko and Nansaki Iku, have a pretty distinct art style, unless they changed it completely someone would recognise it without much problem.
