Pop Life

Pop Life

A manga about two single mothers, Akemi and Sakura, who live together with their kids Kaede, Taichi, and Ruru.

We’ve discussed this on a previous episode.

This is such a fantastic series and made me a fan of Minami Q-ta. I love how this is a slice-of-life story that doesn’t focus on dramatics. While the 2nd volume covers more somber and serious stories, Minami still keeps a subdued tone. It’s really refreshing to read a story about these friends who support and care for each other.

You can pick up both volumes of Pop Life from Star Fruit Books.
