Reiji Miyajima was born in Nakano, Nagano, on December 15, 1985. After graduating at a high school in Nakano, he began working as a manga artist in Tokyo. In October 2005, Miyajima received the Magazine Grand Prix Encouragement Award for his work Sakka no Tensai. 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. In 2008, he published his second one-shot manga Icon in Magazine Special. 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. In 2017, Miyajima started the manga series Rent-A-Girlfriend, which has performed well in Japan. It has since received an anime adaptation and a spin-off manga. Miyajima has previously worked as an assistant for the manga series Ace of Diamond. Aside from his manga career, Miyajima has also handled the series composition for the anime series 22/7.
