Kusumoto's works are known for being psychological dramas focusing on death and romance between androgynous characters. Her minimalist aesthetics, darker themes, and preference for abstraction are all a big draw to her manga. She portrays willowy and long-limbed characters with unclear gender characteristics, who struggle with their inner demons in the harsh reality of everyday life. DolisDolis is one of her most famous works featuring a female protagonist named Mitsu who is known as the ideal girl. The male protagonist, Kishi falls for her in a classic romance but quickly learns there is more to Mitsu than meets the eye. The protagonists take a slow descent into mentally taxing and darker realms that display the realities of love, heartbreak, and obsession. Dolis is considered a Josei manga or one shot.
