Hirayasumi, tome 1

Hirayasu's gentle humor really made me reflect on everyday struggles, but I wonder what motivated Shinzō to mix these tones so seamlessly.

Their journey felt so relatable, especially in how they navigate societal expectations and personal identity. Did others see parts of themselves in this story?

The illustrations have a soft, almost dreamlike quality that perfectly suits the narrative. I'm curious whether this was a deliberate choice to evoke certain feelings.
