A wildly popular bird manga-essay from Instagram finally comes to print, bringing together fans who’ve long awaited this physical edition! The author’s pen captures every day with her budgie Marshmallow — equal parts heartwarming and absurd.
★ The star is a 5-year-old male budgie, white and soft as a marshmallow, who loves dancing the samba, chirping “heave-ho” as his catchphrase, and staring into the void — a personality so rich it makes you laugh and melt.
★ The book divides into two sections — Marshmallow’s daily life with the family, and his social encounters with other birds. From “the intelligence of a 2-year-old” to “a man who refuses to poop,” every page strikes a chord with pet owners.
★ The author, born in 2000, fills her work with Gen Z humor and healing power. A perfect read for anyone who adores small animals and needs a dose of everyday comfort.
★ No complicated plot — just what a bird teaches us: zone out, dance, snuggle, and keep falling in love with life.

Ah, a marshmallow! No — a hamster? No — it’s a bird!!!
The warm & absurd daily life of budgie Marshmallow and his family.

Marshmallow, a 5-year-old boy budgie. His charm lies in his body — white and soft like mochi, like cotton candy.
But what shines brighter than his looks is his slightly human, emotionally rich personality!
He loves dancing the samba, his catchphrase is “heave-ho,” he craves affection, and sometimes he loses focus and stares into the void...
Irresistible Marshmallow — guaranteed you won’t be able to look away!

Born in 2000. Loved drawing from childhood, and in 2018 began creating slice-of-life manga and posting it on social media. Her hobbies include visiting shrines, observing wild birds, and singing together with Marshmallow, the budgie she lives with. A “Dorimalist” (a word she coined) — a dreamer who will forever chase her dreams.
