DEEELAY MANNERS is an indie magazine launched in Tokyo in 2025.
We embrace "slowness" as a positive force, delivering records of poetic and creative adventures through the city—explorations made possible only by taking things slow. Each issue features long-form writing, beautiful photography, and a healthy dose of odd, off-kilter projects. Our mood? It’s basically, "Wait, why did no one tell me living slowly is way more interesting than rushing?"
We were actually aiming for the Taipei Art Book Fair (TPABF) in 2024, but guess what! We were delightfully delayed by a full year, and the inaugural issue is now making its debut at TPABF 2025. See? Not rushing really is important.
We offer two versions: a Japanese/English edition and a Japanese/Traditional Chinese edition. Choose your pleasure!
