Akane-banashi, Vol. 1 by Yuki Suenaga, Takamasa Moue

5.0

Okay. This manga has stolen my heart. These opening seven chapters are so well done!!! I learned a ton about Rokugo as an art??? The story is captivating??? Akane's motivation rocks??? The competing Rokugo apprenticeships are a great set up for the story??? I gasped in happiness when the mom revealed she knew the entire past six years. And the art is super clean and detailed. Nice, nice, nice.
