Laughing Under the Clouds, Volume 1 by Karakara Kemuri

adventurous dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

I was not expecting the last few chapters to deviate from the original storyline! It was a wonderful addition I don’t remember seeing in the anime! I’m glad I got a little more backstory with those characters.

I absolutely love the Kumo brothers and their relationships with each other - with Shirasu as well (my heart still aches though)! I like how the setting focuses more on a traditionally-based Japan but adds a darker magical element I think is also based on Japanese culture.

On a slightly fangirlish note, I wasn’t prepared for the Kumo brothers to be more attractive in the manga than the anime…especially Sora! I wish I had more volumes of this manga!
