"When you're happy, it's okay to forget about this book.
But when you encounter an unavoidable situation, I hope you open it."

First print run includes a Taiwan-exclusive "Go Cry in a Corner" doorknob hanger.

Exhibited twice at Mangasick, Taiwan, and a hot topic on Japanese social media.
The only physical commercial art book to date by Japanese sharp-tongued manga artist and illustrator Harada Chiaki.

──Includes 91 original artworks, 10 overly honest life essays, and 32 commissioned works──

"That guy is so evil, yet he's happier than me. There's definitely something wrong with that."
"You see me smiling, so you think whatever you say to me won't hurt me. Right?"
"Every night, observing the social media of that person I dislike, that's my job."
"In the end, it seems I can't be anyone's number one."

Japanese sharp-tongued manga artist and illustrator Harada Chiaki started publishing her "Dark Words Generator for Good Kids" series of illustrated works online in 2014. Her precise language and gaudy yet ingenious illustrations caused a sensation, leading to collaborations with many musicians, select shops, and publishers. "You're So Kind for Crying in a Corner" excerpts Harada Chiaki's artworks from her ten years since debut. In addition to paintings, it also includes essays, commercial commissioned works, and a timeline, making it Harada Chiaki's first official commercially published collection of works.

In this collection, with illustrations brimming with color and seemingly world-weary yet encompassing all negative emotions, she completely immerses the reader in a chaotic flood of primary colors. No matter how terrible or difficult the situation, please grasp the message contained within! This "mean picture book" contains the strength, hope, and salvation of women, giving people the courage to get up and cry even after a big stumble!
