First night (Tankobon Hardcover)

The setting feels so authentic and shaped the characters' choices deeply. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal research or lived experience.

The subtlety made the emotional beats hit harder for me. I wonder if this was intentional to mirror real-life awkwardness and unspoken feelings.

The beach setting is so symbolic here, but I'm curious if the title was chosen for its literal or metaphorical significance or both.
