Push, Mayu

MAYU PUSH is a Japanese author based in Osaka. She deeply cherishes walking through the city and spending quiet time in cafés.

Through a long period of recovery from illness, she deepened her study of psychology and nutrition and has continued to express the essence of human emotions through words.

In her 100 FAIRIES series, she explores quiet ache and often unspoken feelings through short, quiet lines paired with illustrations by artist Shoge Hoshino. At the heart of her work is a simple idea: From me to me. Her books invite readers to pause, create room for every feeling, and gently return to themselves.
