KADOKAWA Official Series Bibliography Page for 'The Woman Who Wants to Cook and the Woman Who Wants to Eat' >> Illustrated Messages and Comments from 8 Prominent Figures Including Natsuko Taniguchi and Manami Higa! To commemorate the 1 million copies milestone, eight prominent figures have contributed congratulatory illustrations and comments! Natsuko Taniguchi (manga artist) Congratulations on surpassing 1 million copies! May this work, which gently places a hand on your shoulder and says 'it's okay to be here,' reach even more people in the future! Satoko Nagamura (Representative Director, General Incorporated Association Kodomap) Congratulations on 'Tsukutabe' surpassing 1 million copies! As someone personally involved, I feel: Why does society still treat as 'special' the simple, everyday act of eating and living together, something that shouldn't require constant justification? This work carefully portrays the small joys and daily lives of women who aren't 'special,' and I believe it expands people's imagination—perhaps such a pair already exists beside them. I believe stories like this have the power to gradually change society. Akiko Morishima (manga artist) Muneharu Matsuoka (writer / Representative Director, General Incorporated Association fair) Seeing oneself reflected in a story isn't easy for anyone. That's why the fact that this story, which shines light and heals pain, has reached so many people, is itself a beacon of hope. Congratulations on surpassing 1 million copies. Qta Minami (manga artist) Umi Shiina (manga artist) Emi Nishino (artist / actor) 'The Woman Who Wants to Cook and the Woman Who Wants to Eat' Congratulations on surpassing 1 million copies! I first encountered this work when I was cast as Tokoko Kasuga in the drama adaptation. I remember there being so many fans among my friends, and the response was tremendous. I love traveling the world, and whenever I visit bookstores in different countries, I realize that 'Tsukutabe' is not only popular in Japan but has been translated and loved globally. I sincerely hope that the warm story of these two characters drawn by Yuzaki-sensei continues forever. Heartfelt congratulations! Manami Higa (actor) Heartfelt congratulations on 'The Woman Who Wants to Cook and the Woman Who Wants to Eat' surpassing 1 million copies. Playing Nomoto-san in the Night Drama allowed me to live within the author's gentle and warm world—a time that was irreplaceable for me.
