Homebodies

"Home is where the heart is." Today, once again, the day sprawls out before us. Happy days, and not-so-happy days - no matter what, here at home you're always wrapped in the warmth of your favorite place. It's the little things: the small joys, scattered all about, that make everyday life worth living. A full-color collection of vignettes about daily life at home, presented by popular illustrator Ida Chiaki..

"So, what shall I eat today?" Tuna and cheddar cheese, an egg sandwich, and strawberry daifuku toast are breads that brighten the morning. The unforgettable pasta from that neighbourhood shop run by real artisans. Washing down sizzling hot dumplings with drinks would be the perfect weekend bliss. A special brunch with the table filled with crepes. Packing a pretty tin with all my favourite snacks. My favourite cute cup. Buying a new dining table to welcome a new way of living. Ida Chiaki, beloved for 'Ie Ga Suki Na Hito', draws her very first essay manga here, depicting about the many small joys of eating. It's warm, grounded, and filled with the texture of everyday life. It's such a delicious ramble. Well then, go ahead and dig in.
