Miyu Amanu

Born on August 17, 1989, in Ibaraki Prefecture as the eldest daughter of the ○ family. Spent my childhood in Makuhari and Inzai, Chiba Prefecture. I was slower at running than others, so my life was effectively over from the start. An indoor type, I spent my days drawing illustrations of girls and grinning while thinking about their relationships.

In my second year of junior high, I transferred to Osaka due to my father's job. After attending high school in Kansai, I lived in Toyonaka City, Osaka, until my gap year. I returned to Chiba when I entered Keio University. I struggled with feeling like an outsider in both Kansai and Kanto due to my half-baked Kansai dialect. At university, I was in the Department of French Literature and belonged to the Rakugo Research Society.

After graduation, I worked at three companies: administrative work in the rental housing industry, a housing purchase consultation advisor, and administrative work at a staffing agency. During my second job, I was transferred from Chiba to Fukuoka. It was supposed to be a temporary transfer, but I unexpectedly got married in Fukuoka and have lived there ever since.

Gave birth in April 2022. I resigned from my job upon giving birth, and now I spend my days writing novels and essays on note while taking on freelance writing and translation work.

I am participating in Nika Tahara's Weekly Short-Short Note.

Candid essays based on Amafu's own experiences with love and marriage. Mostly about heartbreak.

An essay recounting the life of Amafu, who wants to be acknowledged and praised, but feels embarrassed about it, starting from childhood.

Essays with a strong contemplative tone about daily life and human relationships.
You can read them with a light heart.

A relatively serious corner where I share things I want to know and things I like based on research.

This is a collection of my thoughts and observations on the books I have read.
