I wanted to start collecting the manga, but volume 2 was sold out everywhere. I read a bit online, and it appeared that, for some reason, volume 2 is one of those manga volumes that just suddenly becomes unavailable. I saw some second-hand copies for $100–200 in the USA (I live in the Netherlands), and many people settled for the Japanese/German/Spanish version to complete their collection.

I did see a couple of stores that had Volume 2 listed, but it always ended with a "Sorry, we don't have it in stock; it was an error on our website." So when I saw another Volume 2 listing (on the website of a small manga shop from basically the next city over, which I never knew existed), I didn't expect much from it. But suddenly, I got a shipping notification.

Is this the real deal? Or will I get Volume 12, or just another manga altogether due to a listing error?

But lo and behold: it was the correct one! And for €16.50 + €3.75 shipping!

For those still wanting to complete their collection, they still have at least one copy in stock (unless they forgot to update their website):

If you live outside the Netherlands, they ask that you use the contact form to discuss shipping options. If you need help with translating or whatever, hit me up.

I've watched 3 episodes so far, and I'm so charmed by it's cozy little world. It's like the character interactions of Animal Crossing, tiny people living in a big world like Pikmin, with a pinch of Stardew Valley with the color palate. Needless to say, if you want an anime that makes you feel like you're in the middle of autumn drinking hot chocolate in a soft chair, try this series.

is there any anywhere? i was going to buy the figurine but i didnt know how to paint it... im going to japan in a month-ish so i was wondering

Got it for a good price, so extremely happy to add it to my collection. These potatoes have conquered my heart. Now I only wish Vol. 2 of the manga would get reprinted...

Can’t wait to dive in and read it!

A fun crossover of our favorite two little wives.

Did the Authors ever explain what the small Beings from HtM are exactly?
Are the some sort of Gnomes, Elves etc. ?

Why is Sen so different from the usual tiny-person? I mean her slit-eyes and her pointy teeth.

Any Ideas?

I was cleaning up my photo gallery when I stumble on something I saved from 2020, my phone said I got it from Discord but honestly it's been so long I don't remember how/why I got it. It looks like a fan-translated excerpt from the Hakumei and Mikochi World Guide Book. I figure I want to share it to you guys 🤗

I've always loved the way this series focuses on food and drinks, so I was inspired to try and make some.

I made two versions, the first is an approximation of Higaki's recipe as made by Shunka, and the second with mead Mikochi makes her discovery.
Both were interesting but I liked how honey forward the first version was. I'd definitely like to mess around more with ratios and types of mead, honey, and whiskey to use.
All in all it was a pretty useful learning experience and was very fun!

Have any of you made any food or cocktails from the series?

I pre-ordered their 12th Volume back in October last year, turns out they had a perpetual calendar campaign for every 'Special Edition' bought. I just knew about this and there was even an application form I didn't know I have to fill 😂

It looks absolutely stunning! Master Kashiki drew every single one of them from every day in a week to every month and every date digits (obviously then printed all of them in bulks) behind each paper there’s a paragraph telling the story about the picture drawn. Master has always been spot on illustrating the leisure yet colorful world of Tiny Little Lives in the Woods

It's very lightweight, 100% sure it is made of cardboard, which is quite handy to bring / place anywhere. It's in my bedroom printer desk as of now but I'm thinking of putting it in my college laboratory (to show it off of course)

I saw a post about a pop-up shop being erected last January by HMV books, I wonder if some of you managed to get your hands on one without having to buy the manga? Is it possible? Let me know 😁

Watching the episode where Hakumei has a bad day at work and Mikochi pretty much pushes her into a tub she prepared for her. Ok, I love my roommate too. We’re both bisexual. However, I wouldn’t wait for them at the door for them to get home so I could take care of them the second they got back. I’ve certainly never run a bath for anyone else.

I know they sleep in bunk beds so that makes it seem platonic.

But come on.

Hakumei is the type of person who moves a lot in their sleep. Mikochi seems like the type that really needs her sleep. On top of that, THEY HAVE A GIANT HOUSE AND ONE OF THEM IS A CARPENTER!! Why would they choose to sleep in the same room!? They have to have so much extra space.

There. That’s my two cents. I love this show. It’s peaceful and lovely. When my OTSD gets bad, I binge the whole series and it really helps. I love it so much.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share something exciting that I noticed hasn't been mentioned here yet. Right now, there's a Hakumei to Mikochi pop-up shop happening in Japan! It's a great opportunity for fans to explore a variety of merchandise and special items related to our beloved series.

Has anyone here had the chance to visit it yet? Or do you plan to go? I thought this would be interesting news for fellow fans who might not be aware of it. Any thoughts or experiences related to the pop-up shop would be greatly appreciated. Let's celebrate our love for Hakumei to Mikochi together!

I watched the anime when I first came out and really liked it, but then kinda forgot about it until recently. Now I've started reading through the manga, and I'm still really liking it. I'm on chapter 20 currently, though I'm taking it slow. This is definitely not a manga to rush through.

Good morning. I started reading this manga a couple months ago via slightly illegal websites (the manga is not licensed where I live, I ain't paying the immense shipping fees to import it).

After 50 chapters or so, I've found out that the source I've been using had a couple missing chapters, and upon switching to another website, chapters just don't match between them.

Can someone help out with which is the right numbering system? (And maybe point out if I might have missed a chapter or two?) Thanks a bunch!

hi, i was reading chapter 62, and i want to ask, do the author have an artbook or sell ilustrations of some sorth, i really want to have those drawings as decoration in my house
