Reiji Miyajima is a native of Nakano, Nagano. After graduating at a high school in Nakano, he began working as a manga artist in Tokyo.[1] In October 2005, Miyajima received the Magazine Grand Prix Encouragement Award for his work Sakka no Tensai (サッカの天才).[2] In the same year, he received an honorable mention at the 75th Weekly Shōnen Magazine Newcomer Manga Award for his one-shot manga Pool no Saboten.[3] In 2008, he published his second one-shot manga Icon in Magazine Special.[4]

Miyajima started in Weekly Shōnen Magazine by illustrating the short-term series Suzuki no Shiten in 2009. The following year, he illustrated the series AKB49: Ren'ai Kinshi Jōrei, which is based on the Japanese idol group AKB48.[5] In 2017, Miyajima started the manga series Rent-A-Girlfriend,[6] which has performed well in Japan.[7] It has since received an anime adaptation and a spin-off manga.[8][9] Miyajima has previously worked as an assistant for the manga series Ace of Diamond.[10]

Aside from his manga career, Miyajima has also handled the series composition for the anime series 22/7.[11] He also wrote the original story for its manga adaptation, 22/7 +α, which was serialized in Sunday Webry.[12]
