Ragawa then decided to switch to a different magazine, Hana to Yume. Her first submission to this magazine won a prize called the "Top Prize" (トップ賞). Two years later in 1990, she succeeded in achieving her debut with her one-shot manga Time Limit, published in Hana to Yume issue No. Number 22. Ragawa continued to create long-running manga series such as Baby & Me, New York New York, and Itsudemo Otenki Kibun. In 1995, she won the 40th Shogakukan Manga Award in the category for Baby & Me. In 2012, she won both the 36th Kodansha Manga Award in the category and an Excellence Award at the 16th Japan Media Arts Festival for Those Snow White Notes.
