Step into the vibrant retelling of Japan’s oldest creation myths with Manga Kojiki! I’m Tabby, a translator nestled in a Kominka in Mie Prefecture, Japan, working alongside illustrator and mangaka Fuwah Koichiro and writer Toya Manabu to bring this project to life. Manga Kojiki reimagines the Kojiki—Japan’s ancient book of the nation’s origins—with iconic tales like “Amaterasu’s Rock Cave,” “Susanoo and the Yamata-no-Orochi,” and “The White Hare of Inaba,” crafted in a humorous, chibi-style manga. Boasting a 4.4/5 rating from 843 Amazon Japan reviews, it enchants young adults and adults alike. Fuwah Koichiro, born 1977 in Aichi Prefecture with a Nagoya University of Arts degree, brings his rich experience from TV, newspapers, magazines, and shrine tours to the art. He’s ready to adapt it for English publication if a publisher joins us!

• Cultural Authenticity: Translated with deep respect by me, Tabby, from my Kominka in Mie, ensuring fidelity to Japan’s Shinto roots and mythology.
• Proven Success: A 4.4-star rating (844 reviews) and nationwide bookstore sales in Japan signal its global potential. https://amzn.asia/d/hPScpsx
• Market Appeal: The global manga market is set to hit $24 billion by 2030, with a growing appetite for mythology and cultural content.
• Broad Audience: Targets young adult/adult manga fans, global mythology enthusiasts, and international travelers curious about Japan.
  

Manga Kojiki comes with a travel twist! Purchase the manga for a free goshuin (stamp) book, inviting you to explore real shrines tied to the stories—like Suga Shrine in Shimane, where Susanoo built his first home. As I plan a “Japan Culture × Tourism” manga guide series, my Kominka life and moto routes in Mie inspire adventures blending folklore and nature.

 I’m collaborating with creators to expand Manga Kojiki into a series, merging Japanese mythology with travel guides featuring goshuin stamps and rural routes. We’re also planning exclusive guided tours by ‘Manga Kojiki’ author, Fuwa Koichiro. Support this journey on my upcoming Patreon, launching soon with exclusive previews and behind-the-scenes content!
