after reading the manga, one could believe that the music of nujabes was created to materialize the essence of hirayasumi so much we are facing something chill and lofi-esque. it's a real ode to the simple pleasures of life that is presented to us; the work deals with the different worries, questioning, existential crises that everyone feels daily with always kindness, patience, empathy and self-indulgence as a solution; for oneself as well as for others. it's difficult not to identify with at least one character or situation experienced by them. the author's pencil stroke, like his manga, is both simple and beautiful: without superfluous, it emanates arealism that makes the reading fluid and pleasant.

if you are a fan of jiro taniguchi's works, of yokohama kaidashi kikou, of mushishi or more generally of iyashikei mangas or of the mono no aware aesthetic, go for it!
