History
In 2005, the Japanese companies responsible for creating the Japanese Cosy Corner merch decided to join forces with Storimages - the animation studio responsible for creating Cosy Corner - and create a manga modeled on the series and its books. Thanks to this, it was possible to transport Cosy Corner books to Japan.
