Misakigaokaite

Misakigaokaite

A collection of stories about the residents living in the city of Misakigaoka.

We’ve discussed this on an older episode.

This manga is a really good slice of life series. I liked how every chapter followed a different person living in the city. Some stories were melancholy and others were uplifting but every one had a sense of completion that worked well. Seiji Toda‘s art work is a little simple and the characters looked very similar but I really liked their storytelling.
