Mars, Tome 1

The characters' struggles felt very raw and authentic. I wonder if specific experiences inspired these portrayals or if it was entirely fictional.

Some chapters felt more introspective than plot-driven, which made me reflect on the characters' inner worlds. Is this a common storytelling choice in manga like this?

The artwork really sets a mood that complements the story’s emotional tone. I’m curious whether the visuals were planned from the start or evolved during creation.
