Oh and, Hirayasumi does something I had not seen before in manga. It has a narrator that speaks directly to the reader. The narrator jokes with us, asks us questions, gently breaks the fourth wall on several occasions. That really has a big impact on the tone and pacing of the story. In a great way.

Hirayasumi Manga Volume 2 features story and art by Keigo Shinzo.
Each chapter of Hirayasumi is akin to a stand-alone short story. While it seems to go in somewhat chronological order, they each feel so full and rich on their own. We see Hiroto deal with the loss of “Granny,” trying to connect with his younger cousin, dealing with changing friendships, and navigating life. His younger cousin Natsumi is trying to adjust to life in Tokyo while feeling like an outsider. She secretly wants to be a manga artist, gets too drunk at a freshman party, and desperately wants to make friends.
