About the Book:
Marie Kondo tells the story of Chiaki, a young woman in Tokyo whose messy apartment mirrors the disorder in her love life and career. When her next-door neighbour complains about her cluttered balcony, Chiaki finally enlists Kondo as her tidying consultant. What follows is a series of witty, warm-hearted lessons in the KonMari Method, as Chiaki learns to sort her belongings by category and ask a simple question of each: does this spark joy? Along the way, tidying becomes a mirror for Chiaki's wider life, nudging her towards clearer thinking and renewed confidence. Illustrated throughout by Yuko Uramoto, the story turns organisational theory into an entertaining, visually rich narrative, easy to devour in a single sitting. It works both as a satisfying story and as a genuinely useful primer on Kondo's principles, making her bestseller The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up more approachable than ever. Fans of graphic novels and slice-of-life storytelling will enjoy the format, while readers new to Kondo get a gentle, story-driven way into her ideas. Published by Pan Macmillan under the Bluebird imprint, this 192-page paperback is a great starting point for anyone curious about the KonMari phenomenon.
