As a "homeless gyaru manga artist", she lived a life to live in manga cafes or karaoke boxes without a permanent place to say. She said that she had paid a pension. She ended her "homeless life" at the end of 2009 and lived in a Tokyo condominium with a six-tatami room and a Loft store. Hamada and her editor meet exclusively at a karaoke box in Shibuya.
Her father was very tough and hit Hamada if she dyed her hair, and threw out her hair dye. Her parents found out that she became a manga artist for the first time only when seeing her works sold. Although she stayed unhappy with her father after she ran away from home, he saved clippings of the magazines she was in. Her relationship with her parents improved, and she gave them a car and her mother a smartphone.
On 25 October 2010, on her former official website, she quit Ever Green Entertainment, to which she belonged since December 2008, and announced that she was devoting herself to manga. She later launched Piece Eight Co., Ltd., a private company. On 2 November 2010, she closed her former official website and blog, opening a new official website and blog the next day. On 1 October 2011, Harada announced that she would continue her entertainment activities on her own blog.
She announced her engagement in December 2013, but broke it off in June 2014. In February 2018 she announced that her actual age was 38, and that she was pregnant with her first child, making a decision to give birth as a single mother.

Reception

Mimi Usagino of Techinsight Japan's editorial department says that Hamada's bold style of drawing the ecology of contemporary young women resembles Yutsuko Chusonji's work. There are flashy clothes and makeup from Ado Mizumori, so it is said that Hamada's characters will not feel new. In addition, Usagino says that Hamada is expressing her body with messages such as, "there is no house in such a dark era, there are young people who are enjoying living happily." Her entertainment profile as a celebrity is cheerful, flashy and slightly obaka but bright. characters who are called "Manga+Tarento", on the other hand, have many rivals.
