"A Single Person's Happy Room" is an illustrated and comic book collection by Japanese illustrator "mame," themed around the daily lives of 11 women living alone in 11 small neighborhoods of Tokyo! 🗼

The book has over 128 pages, and reading it feels like reading a picture guide about different lives~😆

The book covers 11 sub-districts of Tokyo, including: Kuramae, Nakano, Akabane, Nakameguro, Sendagi, Chofu, Meidaimae, Kita-Senju, Shibaura, Shoin Shrine-mae, and Shibamata.

In addition to introducing the female characters' personal backgrounds, house layouts, furnishings, favorite items, and favorite places, there are also short stories presented in comics and color illustrations, making these characters more three-dimensional and relatable!

Although I haven't been to Tokyo many times, as a fellow city dweller living in a big city, I felt a familiar resonance watching these women's lives. I could also understand the joy I experience in creating my own space, finding my interests, and making myself shine! ✨

📍 Official Introduction

★ The best time to be alone! Living in your own private space is the best!

★ Set against the backdrop of 11 neighborhoods in Tokyo, such as Nakano, Nakameguro, and Meidaimae, this series depicts the everyday lives of urban girls that tourists rarely see!

"Living alone here is great!"

Mame, a well-known Japanese illustrator known for her cute depictions of girls, uses 11 different locations in the Tokyo area, including Nakano, Nakameguro, and Meidaimae, to depict the daily lives and interior furnishings of 11 women with different personalities, professions, and enjoyment of living alone.

A college student living away from home for the first time, an office worker who works until the wee hours of the morning, a cartoonist who loves listening to music...

My favorite home decor items include posters and DVDs from the movie "Chungking Express," a cat tree, and vitamin-colored blankets...

Outdoor scenes include Nakano izakaya, Shibamata shopping street...

Each entry includes a personal profile, room layout, decor, favorite furniture and accessories, beloved cats and dogs (and the ever-present cat and dog hair!)... as well as a short comic strip. Before you know it, you and I have enjoyed cozy and wonderful home moments with these adorable girls!
