I stan kumota haruko...This is such a nice self-contained volume (I know it's getting a continuation also which I look forward to). There's a soulful piercing quality in the way she draws people's faces and expressions that belie an array of complicated and very angsty looks - there's a story that can be told through the faces alone. I can feel that good good emotion...The poses are all SO specific and she just injects each panel with this humanistic quality. it's just so goddamn gorgeous...
One of my favorite lgbtq-centric manga. This manga made me cry. There's a lot of emotion in here that I strongly relate to and I absolutely love the surreal visual metaphors that bleed into reality. Will definitely be buying the volumes once the english versions have been released.
