About the series
Mika Yamamori’s Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet follows a young woman who becomes a live-in housekeeper for a reclusive, bestselling novelist—only to discover he’s her prickly, demanding classmate from school. This Yen Press series, translated by Taylor Engel, blends slice-of-life romance with a quiet, character-driven exploration of loneliness and creative obsession. Since its 2022 debut, Yamamori’s delicate, expressive artwork has made it a standout for fans of slow-burn shōjo drama.
