On Thursday, April 23, 2026, Shogakukan Inc. released a new book by traveling investor Rie Fujikawa, titled 'The Book That Automatically Saves 1 Million Yen with 3,000 Yen a Week Even with Zero Knowledge'.

This book is a highly practical introduction to investing aimed at 'first-year investors' who have felt that 'investing is scary!', 'I'm bad with numbers!', or 'I don't have a lump sum of money!'.

The author, who realized her dream of a solo round-the-world trip at the age of 55, imparts tips on how to earn money through investing to do what you love and enjoy life to the fullest.

■ Starting with '3,000 yen a week', there's nothing to fear even if you fail!

What this book proposes is 'relaxed investing' that you can start from 3,000 yen a week (about 10,000 yen a month).

It's a style where you invest in your favorite companies with the feeling of 'Oshikatsu' (supporting your favorites), allowing you to continue while having fun.

STEP 1: Steadily accumulate money 'for the future' using the new NISA.

STEP 2: Once you get used to it, invest in individual stocks starting from 1 share with the feeling of 'supporting' a favorite company.

STEP 3: Freely spend the profits on your next investment or your own enjoyment!

The major feature of this book is its design that transforms investing from 'endurance' into 'excitement' through these steps.

■ From living in a luxury high-rise to a 40-year-old apartment! The author is a former investing beginner who started her investor life at 40.

The author didn't originally have knowledge of investing. Following the Lehman shock, her life changed drastically, and she experienced moving from a luxury high-rise condo to an apartment over 40 years old.

'Just working won't erase my anxiety about the future.'

Feeling this way prompted her to start stock investing, and she continued building her assets through trial and error.
As a result, at the age of 55, she realized a 'first-class solo round-the-world trip' lasting 40 days and costing over 3 million yen in total. Currently calling herself a 'traveling investor', she shares her lifestyle of enjoying investing and life.

In this book, she includes not only highly reproducible investing techniques that anyone can easily imitate but also a comic essay incorporating her real experiences on 'how she made her dream of a solo round-the-world trip come true through investing'. The content grasps the knack for earning money to obtain 'freedom' and 'what you love'.

■ A book full of concrete measures where even investing beginners won't get lost!

- What is the new NISA? Why is it a loss if you don't use it?
- Which brokerage account should I choose?
- What exactly is 'All Country' (Orkan)?
- How do I pick stocks? When do I sell?

- How do I find my own 'Oshi' (favorite) stock?

These are carefully explained from a complete beginner's perspective, assuming smartphone use. Precisely because the author describes herself as bad with numbers, she proactively covers the 'stumbling blocks' she understands.

'I want to learn investing knowledge from zero!' 'I don't want to acquire stiff knowledge, but want to do investing that enriches my life joyfully!' This book is perfect for you.

It is now on sale at bookstores nationwide and online bookstores! Please pick up a copy.
