Origin Mari grew up as an only child in a poor neighborhood in Saitama, northwest of Tokyo. Her parents were always busy working to make ends meet, often leaving Mari to fend for herself. This lack of attention caused her to become introverted, finding comfort in writing as a way to express her thoughts, dreams, and emotions. What started as a personal outlet quickly became a passion, and soon, Mari was creating entire worlds in her stories. Initially, she shared her work on her personal blog, and to her surprise, her stories gained widespread attention, attracting the interest of major publishers. However, even as her novels were published across Japan, her parents remained oblivious to her success, neglecting her at home. By the time she was 18, Mari had become a well-known novelist, winning multiple literary awards. Yet, despite her growing fame, she remained withdrawn, choosing to communicate with publishers and readers only through email, under her pen name. This kept her personal life a mystery, with only her writing offering a glimpse into her world. At 20, Mari moved to Tokyo, leaving behind the cold, distant household she had never felt truly connected to. She hoped that the city's vibrant energy would help her break out of her shell. However, despite her expanding success—now recognized internationally—Mari still struggled with deep loneliness. Behind her novelist persona, she felt isolated, unsure of how to bridge the gap between the world in her stories and the reality around her.
