1000/10 one of my favorite mangas. Never read anything more wholesome in my entire life. If I could live between the pages of a manga it would be this one.

After a failed attempt to live life in Tokyo, Kozuka Mitsuomi moves back to his childhood hometown in the countryside. It’s not long until he meets Kumai Yamato and the two slowly begin to grow closer.

Also 1000/10 !!! It is the sequel to restart after coming home and it’s as phenomenal as the first.

1000/10 and super uber wholesome. It revolves around the seasons and food and food bringing people together. Not explicitly a romantic relationship, but a story about connection that extends beyond words like platonic or romantic love… it’s just a story about connections and care and love idk I love this manga so much

1000/10 I reread this once a month.

A sweet manga about the everyday life of an unlikely couple: Fujiwara-kun “Negative-Kim” and Tachibana-kun “Positive-kun”. These two are so cute and their dynamic is just so loving and understanding. They are the definition of yin and yang.

All of the stories told in this series pack a punch and I cannot recommend this manga enough.

Vol. 1-3 focus on Kutsuna Satoru, a hat maker, and the man he found half dead one night named Kashiba Ryou. A slow burn/exploration of passion and what it means to live.

Vol. 4-7 center around a much darker and heavier story line following three men from Ryou’s past. It does not overlap with the main story and wholly centers around these three. Ngl I love these volumes more that the first 3.
