Haritsuke

This manga is a collection of short stories featuring newly drawn works and previously serialized chapters. The anthology opens with an original story centered around the mother of a close friend, exploring intimate interpersonal dynamics. The core of the collection is comprised of "Sunadokei" (Hourglass), a multi-part narrative originally serialized across six installments. This extended story delves into complex relationships and emotional tension over its serialized run. Rounding out the volume is "Y-yama-ke no Kettou" (Lineage of the Y Mountain Villa), a two-part tale that examines the heritage and secrets tied to a specific family estate. Together, these stories form a cohesive anthology exploring mature themes through varied settings and character interactions.
