Mars, Tome 8

The artwork in Mars 8 has a delicate, expressive quality that really pulls me into the characters' inner worlds. I'm curious if the artist intentionally used specific techniques to evoke certain feelings or themes.

The depiction of emotional trauma felt very raw and real, but also made me wonder about the balance between honesty and sensitivity. How did the author approach this delicate subject?

The combination of visuals and storytelling creates a unique emotional impact. I'm interested in what inspired choosing manga over traditional prose for this narrative.
