Book Intro

(English) Please Look After Succulents

The Confession of a Black Thumb Plant Lover

One day the writer becomes smitten by succulents, but the pretty and cute succulents that she buys and brings home die one by one. The writer admits she has a black thumb, but her passion to grow succulents will not die. The first time is always difficult and it takes getting used to. The writer does not give up, and she takes readers to the wondrous world of plants and succulents by learning about each one.  Please Look After Succulents is a graphic novel based on the real experiences of the writer as she tries to become a plantswoman growing succulents. In the book, she introduces different types of succulents, how to grow them, and even explanations for difficult botanical terms as well as gardening tips from her own trials and failures. There have been books about pet animals, but this is the first graphic novel about pet plants, especially succulents. They are more than pet plants to the writer, as she considers them a part of her life, and in the book, she shares with readers her philosophy and outlook on life as she struggles to keep her plants alive. Plants including succulents are everywhere, but growing them requires interest, care, and dedication, and after reading this book, readers will never see succulents the same way again, and they might be willing to dive into the diverse and fascinating world of succulents by growing one themselves.

 

(Japanese) 多肉植物の世話をしてください

多肉植物を育てることで起こる様々なエピソードを漫画で面白く描いた作品だ。作家が多肉植物を育ててみた経験を土台に植物初心者として体験した多くの試行錯誤とリアルなコツを見ることができ、多肉植物の多様な種と栽培法、不慣れな用語に対する情報も多く収録されている。一般人に少し不慣れかもしれない多肉植物をテーマにした実験精神の高い最初のグラフィックノーブルという点でも意義がある。何より愛玩の領域を越えて伴侶を眺めて接する作家の哲学までも読むことができ、面白さと共に生に関する余韻も残る本だ。この本を通じて多彩で神秘的な多肉植物の世界に入ってみるのもいいだろう。
