HEN is a story about a man becoming a woman. Hiroya spent countless hours working on HEN. After HEN's production, many H artists and dōjinshi used "tit-motion trails", which were common in HEN. "Tit-motion trails" (or whatever name Hiroya calls them) were blurs that would show the movement of breasts. Hiroya jokes about this in some of the GANTZ volumes.

Hiroya has also worked on two other series titled HEN: somewhat entwined stories of a much-desired student who, to her utmost horror, falls in love with another girl, and of a young man who becomes besotted with another, convinced his (quite feminine) love is a girl trapped in a boy's body. Neither is particularly explicit; they are focused on the characters. Each pair meets up with the other, during the course of their respective tales.
