Ao Haru Ride, Vol. 3

The illustrations really bring the characters' feelings to life. I'm curious if the artist planned the emotional beats visually or if it evolved during the process.

The mix of awkwardness and deep connection felt so authentic. I wonder how much of this was inspired by real experiences or observations.

It’s interesting how the story balances young love with self-discovery. I’d love to hear what the author aimed to explore through this dual focus.
