"Homebody" is a manga and text collection created by Japanese illustrator Ida Chiaki. The original book title is "Ie ga Suki na Hito" (家が好きな人). The Traditional Chinese version was published by "Yuan Shen" in 2023.

This book, themed around "home," uses illustrations and comics to depict the spatial styles and daily lives of five women living alone, focusing on their rooms, habits, and pace of life—sleeping, cooking, watching TV, meeting with family and friends, shopping, and taking care of small items. 🍞

The book has 128 pages, with five chapters, each corresponding to a different character and home atmosphere, and the characters are also somewhat connected.

With gentle strokes and warm colors, the author depicts the appearance of "living alone," revealing profound emotions and observations about daily life in the details. 🏡

Through the combination of pictures and text, one can savor the warmth of home and immerse oneself in time for solitude!

People should treat themselves better. After reading this book, I realized that home is the closest, most spacious, and infinitely magical wonderland. —Hika Harada (author of the bestseller "The Use of 3000 Yen")

I want to create a work that is both desirable and, when readers reflect on their own lives, makes them realize, "My life is beautiful too!" — Chiaki Ida

Life is made up of countless ordinary days.

And home, connecting the beginning and the end of these days, faithfully reflects the appearance and personality of its inhabitants.

Every object in the home holds memories and emotions; it is the most ordinary yet most comforting place in the world.

Focusing on the homes of five women living alone, the book uses delicate observation and writing to portray the personalities of five different types of girls and create five distinct home environments, exploring their food, household items, living spaces, hobbies, and habits. Their routines and personalities differ greatly, but they all deeply love their own little nests, using them for work, entertaining guests, relaxation, cooking, and simply unwinding—doing what they love, enjoying their time there, and spending each day in a simple and therapeutic way. They deeply love their homes and love themselves as residents.

Virginia Woolf once said that a woman needs her own room. The author meticulously depicts the wonderful times five women living alone spend in their own rooms through illustrations. It is these fulfilling daily routines that heal the fatigue of working hard outside, allowing each day to be refreshed and a fresh start.
