Abstract

Comments like “This healed me…” and “I wish one of them would come live with me!” have poured in from readers—
and now the beloved little creatures that captured so many hearts on social media finally appear in book form as “Chibi-Fuku.”

The story is set in Fukura Town, a small place somewhere in Japan. Here live pocket-sized, mysterious beings known as Chibi-Fuku. They take on various forms—seal, koala, ogre, cat—each one different, and visible only to humans whose “frequencies” align with theirs.

Once a Chibi-Fuku chooses a human and settles into their home, it brings good fortune to its new “master,” much like a guardian spirit from old folklore. Whether it’s work, school, relationships, or love, these tiny companions offer a touch of happiness to people doing their best to navigate modern life with their own worries and burdens.

This edition features extensively revised and expanded stories from social media, along with seven newly written chapters depicting how each Chibi-Fuku first met its human. The book concludes with an original, full-length story portraying a heartfelt crisis of farewell.

Step into the tender, magical world of Chibi-Fuku and the small moments of happiness they bring.
