I like these two , (same author) one of the themes may appeal more to you !
(Japanese community of traditionnal dances.)

(Japanese community of traditionnal potters.)

Those two are classics <3 true gems !!
I love both stories, Song Of the Cloud is shorter but compact

If you don't know this manga, try it !!
it's delightful
ive been reading straight manhwa for a while like bunker days and flowers are bait. i love bunker days the most since the TENSION is crazy. like they’re almost THERE but they’re not. any recs? i prefer real life themed not fantasy
