Asano Inio is the unsung Aesop of our time. He weaves his set of ideals and his take on life into his manga, teaching and inspiring us time and time again.

In this compilation of short stories, Inio tries to teach us one thing, saying it directly on the first and last pages of the second volume: "This world that we live in is gentle yet sad, fun yet sorrowful, strong yet ephemeral..." / "...but as long as you're alive, something good is bound to happen. I'm sure of it."

Each and every one of the stories shows struggle. They show how terrible "ordinary" read more

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, even if you don't know how long that tunnel is. Two of the most inspiring and realistic manga out there, both penned by Inio Asano.

Both are compilations of short stories that contain philosophical elements.
