Hirayasumi, tome 2

The manga feels very grounded in daily routines, but I found myself connecting deeply with the characters' small experiences. Did anyone else feel this quiet intimacy made the story more impactful?

The peaceful, everyday atmosphere makes it stand out from more dramatic manga. I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or observations of Japanese community life.

The art style feels so minimalist yet expressive — I’m curious whether that was a deliberate choice to focus on the characters' feelings or if it evolved naturally.
