天にも昇る幸せ / Ten nimo noboru shiawase (Tankobon Hardcover)

The way the characters’ pasts and present intertwined really pulled at my heartstrings. I’m curious if others felt the same sense of catharsis or tension.

The story seamlessly blended both aspects, but I wonder if that was a deliberate choice or if it evolved during writing. It kept the pace engaging without feeling overwhelming.

The coastal backdrop added so much charm and atmosphere. I wonder if real places inspired the setting or if it was purely fictional to serve the story’s themes.
