The highly anticipated 4th volume of the popular series 'Every Negative Turned Positive by My Husband Hige,' which has seen continuous reprints, is now decided for release!
This series depicts the daily life of the 'Wife, Gunso,' who tends to hold 'self-reflection meetings,' and the 'Husband, Hige,' who can turn any 'negative' into a positive with a single word. It is a self-help comic essay.
In our stressful modern society, it makes you involuntarily chuckle and feel a little lighter – as 'reading self-care,' it has gained wide support from many readers.
“After reading, I felt like I could be a little kinder to myself.”
“I was feeling down, but before I knew it, I was smiling a little.”
“It’s a book full of 'I wish I could think like that.'”
We have received great feedback from many readers regarding the three existing volumes, and the release of the latest 4th volume has been decided for July 31, 2026 (Friday).
Furthermore, following the 1st and 2nd volumes of the series, the latest 3rd volume, 'Even if Life Isn't Perfect, It's Still Worth a Flower Mark,' has continued to garner attention since its release, and has now been decided for its 4th printing! This further accelerates the momentum of the series.

For everyone in the world who is working hard--.
In this work too, 'Husband Hige,' the facilitator of 'super self-affirmation,' lightly transforms all the negatives overflowing in daily life into positives.
Even seemingly negative events can become 'proof of progress' with a slight change in perspective – such words from Hige gently lighten the hearts of readers.
On days when things don't go well, or moments when you feel down,
with a single phrase that makes you think, 'I never saw it that way,' the color of the world changes a little.
After reading, you feel a sense of relief and can face forward again – it's a book that brings such gentle change!
