I liked this first chapter mainly because the art resembles my own, the two main characters are quite normal and the story is very common, but the style and vibe managed to keep me hooked until the end.

This manga also doesn't seem like it will be as long, as At Summer's End by the same author.

some interesting negative space usage. otherwise not too interested in the narrative for now. I'll leave it be for a bit.

Author of "At Summer's End" returned! and still love the vibe and art style of author work.

Story and characters as always feel really natural.

Early 2000s nostalgia? I wouldn't be surprised if author is similar or slightly older than me... Imagine if this was animated with those early 2000s aesthetics!

Considering myself lucky to have found this series whilst scrolling - excited to see where this goes.
that one is dear to me who runs not after the pleasant or away from the painful,
grieves not, lusts not, but lets things come and go as they happen.

Damn, the artstyle looks simplistic, yet electrifying, especially the female characters. Will give it a try (and I hope the manga survives after 2nd volume).
