Kobunsha to Release Mental Care Guide "Otsukare Mental Itawari-cho" on May 27

Kobunsha Publishing Co., Ltd. will release "Otsukare Mental Itawari-cho" (written by Yurina Hanai) on Wednesday, May 27, 2026.

For those left behind by exercise-based self-care Common mental health advice often assumes a certain level of physical and mental energy, such as "exercising," "fixing your lifestyle," or "creating habits."

In reality, many people find themselves in a state where they "cannot even rest well," let alone consider strenuous activities like muscle training.

This book is a practical guide designed on the premise that even those with "no energy" can read it.

- Recover first, before trying to "work hard." - Prevent mental downturns.

We have compiled specific tips for these purposes using gentle language and a simple structure.

Designed to minimize burden Every topic is completed within a two-page spread and unified to a volume that can be understood in a short time.

Designed to reduce the "burden of reading," it can be flipped through even when you are tired.

Additionally, since you can choose and practice only the necessary items, it leads to continuous self-care.

In an age of information overload such as SNS, it is common to become mentally exhausted without realizing it. This book is a "small toolbox for recovery" aimed at everyone living in this modern age.

We hope many people will pick up this book as a way to ensure they do not put their own care on the back burner, even during busy days.
