Slice of life/ everything else in between

just daily and mundane moments in the best of ways. Lovely art style

The vibe and connection between the characters is so nice in this, it all feels really natural and engaging.
The art is really expressive and makes use of framing and angles you don't usually see used.

As a former art student, current artist, so much of this manga resonates truthfully on the struggles of making it in a creative field.
The art is incredible, the story is heartfelt and honest, and the characters are all distinct.

This mangaka has such a distinctive style and voice. Characters who stay with you.

This is just about the quintessential definition of the slice of life genre- soft and slow with a gentle heart. You get the sense that the characters will all grow, but they'll do it at their own pace. It's all just easy.

Little vignettes based on the mangaka's personal history. An interesting mix of childhood memories, fraught in the midst of war and turmoil, interspersed with mundane stories from the present.

Occassionally you come accross a manga that feels like it is something special and unique, and for me, this is one of them.
Great story, interesting characters, and the stakes are kept high. In reading it, I kept expecting a character to go a certain way, only for them to do the opposite. I think that's a good thing!

My most beloved trope of an odd group of people all tumbling into each other's lives and becoming a found family.
The protagonist is so cool and likeable, you just want her to be happy!
