Full Moon O Sagashite, Vol. 4

The manga seamlessly shifts between lighthearted moments and heartfelt scenes. I'm curious how the creator approached maintaining that balance.

The growth of the characters feels really authentic, but I wonder if the author planned these arcs from the start or evolved them during the series.

Music plays such a vital role in the story and characters' lives. I'm interested in what motivated the author to weave that into the narrative.
