Ukazu launched
Check, Please! as a webcomic in 2013 after writing a screenplay about Eric "Bitty" Bittle, a gay college freshman and champion figure skater who joins a hockey team. Ukazu created a
Kickstarter campaign in 2015 to print the first volume of the comic; the campaign resulted in the highest-funded comics project in Kickstarter's history. In 2018, the first installment,
Check, Please!: #Hockey, was published by
First Second Books. In December 2025, Ukazu announced that a new volume of
Check, Please! would be released in 2026. She also revealed that the series has been optioned for TV adaptation. For
DC Comics, she wrote and illustrated the young adult graphic novel
Barda, based on the character
Big Barda. The sequel,
Orion, which follows the
character of the same name, is slated to be published in 2026. Her latest graphic novel,
Flip, was published in September 2025. == Publications ==
