Synopsis

At the Star Kids Home, a combination group home/orphanage, a disparate group of children struggle with both the everyday issues of growing up and those specific to abandoned or orphaned children. Their one avenue of escape is the Sunny, a junked car that sits a little ways from the home. In the Sunny they can travel the world, go into space, or just find a refuge from the troubles of their world.

Background

Sunny won the 61st Shogakukan Manga Award in the general category in 2015 and the 20th Japan Media Arts Festival Excellence Prize Award in 2016.

The manga was serialized in Ikki until the magazine's discontinuance on September 25, 2014 (November issue), and then transferred to Gekkan! Spirits on January 27, 2015 (March issue).

The series has been published in English by VIZ Media under the SigIkki imprint in hardcover format since May 21, 2013 and in Spanish by ECC Comics since October 29, 2015.

Sunny is based partly on author Taiyo Matsumoto's own childhood, during which he spent time in a children's home.

Artwork is very different.
Storyline is slice of life with different chapters focussing on different characters. It's an easy series to read and keeps you absorbed. Nothing that left a particularly strong impression on me though. Maybe because I'm from a different generation to the one it depicts. I only read it last year but couldn't remember what it was about until I re-read the synopsis on MAL and that brought back bits and pieces of the story back to me. I suppose the characters didn't resonate with me, and I didn't identify myself in any of them so I was detached.
Anyway, still think it's worth read more
