I Had That Same Dream Again: The Complete Manga Collection by Yoru Sumino
4.0
A little girl doesn't have any school friends, but after school's out she spends time with a variety of people: a cat, a lonely but beautiful young woman, a depressed high schooler, and an old woman who lives alone and bakes snacks. When the girl's teacher assigns a project, "What is Happiness?", the girl's attempts to answer this question-- with the help of her companions-- will lead her to a surprising conclusion.
I had no idea what I was getting into with this manga, but it pulled me in right away. Though, as others have said, the twist is fairly predictable, that doesn't detract from the intrigue or loveliness of the tale. The only thing that bothered me is that I wish the teacher had done more to quell the bullying happening in her classroom. The artwork is very pretty, with good character design. Some of the speech bubbles are mixed up, but I read an advanced copy so this may be fixed in the final version. Altogether, a beautiful little manga!
TW: bullying, self-harm (cutting), references to substance abuse and prostitution
Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this eARC via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review!
