Shiwa (Tankobon Hardcover)

The story manages to be touching without feeling overly heavy, which is a difficult tone to strike. I'm curious about what inspired this nuanced approach.

The characters felt so real and vulnerable, making me reflect on my own family. Did the portrayal resonate differently depending on personal experiences?

The artwork feels simple yet powerful, enhancing the story's impact. I wonder if the style was chosen to reflect the characters' perspectives or to keep the focus on the emotional core.
