Volume 2 - 1st printing. Story and art by Shiki Kawabata. Translated by Sawa Matsueda Savage. A poignant and funny time-skip manga about grief, art, and love, like Orange meets Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, from the creator behind the Netflix miniseries Switched. Complete in five volumes. Mahoro's high school manga club had two members: her and a classmate who passed away months after they met. Now, she's an award-winning pro, but what no one else knows is that she stole the ideas for her hit manga from the notebook her dead classmate left behind. When fate gives her an opportunity to redeem herself, she'll do whatever it takes to return Yukishima's story--and save him from dying. Manga artist Mahoro Haruta has always struggled with imposter syndrome, and for good reason. Her entire career is a lie; her hit, debut series based on ideas left behind by her late friend Yukishima, who passed away when they were in high school. When Mahoro suddenly finds herself back in time, she realizes this is her chance to redeem herself and does all she can to help Yukishima fulfill his dream of making manga. With her knowledge from the future, Mahoro thinks she is making all the right choices—except Yukishima still abruptly passes away, this time earlier than he was supposed to. As Mahoro despairs that her attempt to help may have backfired, she finds herself back in time yet again—and Yukishima alive once more. Is she now stuck in a time loop? How can she possibly break it? What can she do now, when one wrong choice might just lead to another tragedy? Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8-in., 176 pages, B&W. Rated T+ Cover price $13.99.
