      Grades 9-12 A slice-of-life with a gentle sense of contemplation, Hirayasumi has a powerful undercurrent for a story centered on everyday experiences. After forming a bond with an elderly woman in his neighborhood, Hiroto finds himself as the heir to her house. A laid-back, easygoing man with very little money and a menial job at a fishing spot, Hiroto extends his newly inherited home to his distant cousin, Natsumi. An art student, Natsumi struggles to make friends in Tokyo. As Hiroto deals with grief at the loss of his friend, Natsumi deals with social isolation among her fellow art students. Hiroto's positive and placid outlook leads to both introspection and friction in this melancholy and honest manga. Illustrated in a rounded style that is cozy and intimate, Hirayasumi feels detailed and lived in, the little moments carrying tension and care, a bit like having an inside glimpse into someone's private life. Appealing for teens and adults who like literary, personal, and character-driven manga.
