The experience throughout reading this manga mirrored the way the sea or seaside feels, if that makes sense. Everything was very serene, but I think the emotions were touched on in a very tender and soft way. I think I really enjoyed this manga because it made me feel like a young kid again. It was nostalgic, and the way the mangaka developed the town made me feel very immersed in its atmosphere - the setting's personality was very distinct. The art compliments the story perfectly. The vibe of the story reminds me of 'When Marnie was there' or 'Song of the Sea'. It retainedan innocent, naive magic while incorporating realistic elements of life. Everything was very delicate??? It really makes you feel like a young kid when you read it (at least it did for me).
