Run! Puffy Run! Index - Click for larger image

This is the book companion to their 1997 visit to the US (see also Run! Puffy! Run! DVD). It's filled with pictures and details of the day to day events of their trip. The book includes a comic called "Puffy Comix" drawn by Ami. The book is 160 pages at 26 x 18 1/2 cm.

Puffy

"Puffy" was published on October 1, 1997. It appears to document in part Ami and Yumi's early years before becoming Puffy. The subtitle reads "Ami & Yumi no ii kanji densetsu" which means something like "The happy legend of Ami and Yumi." More info to come.

Puffy Daikichi (Excellent Luck)

This 1999 book includes transcripts from three 180 minute long interviews with Ami, Yumi and the two together. It also contains many color and black and white pictures. The book is 195 pages at 15 x 21 cm.

Puffy 1996/2000 (Sore wa nanika tota zune tara)

Published in 2000 this book covers Puffy's early career. It includes many pictures and interviews. While the book itself is entirely in Japanese, the subtitle says (in slightly strained English): "Puffy is the couple known by everybody in all over Japan. But it doesn't mean that we know how they feel. If you take a look inside, you maybe find [WHAT IS PUFFY]." The book is 190 pages at 19 1/2 x 19 1/2 cm.

Boon! Puffy! Boon! Vol 2

This magazine-sized picture book contains dozens of full size pictures of Ami and Yumi. Also included are two interviews with Ami and Yumi, a Puffy history timeline and a catalogue of Puffy Merchandise. The book is 106 pages at 21 x 28 cm.

Ami and Yumi show their creative versatility with this 2002 storybook. Ami drew the comics while Yumi wrote the story. More to come.

Released on March 24, 2006, this book was part of Puffy's ten year anniversary promotion. It includes long interviews, many pictures, a manga, discography and Official Goods section.
