Summary
Yokoi is a manga artist who spends his nights delivering newspapers just to make rent, since his original works just don't seem to sell. Suddenly, one day he gets a visit from Saito-san, a self-proclaimed fan of Yokoi's work who made the long journey to meet him. Yokoi quickly realizes that the things Saito-san sees, feels, and thinks about are different from most people… These two struggle together to find a place to belong in this unique slice-of-life!

I've purchased & read the first 3 volumes on a different platform.
Triggers listed at the bottom.
-
This series is about two people whose ways of thinking don't mesh well with what society deems "proper."
-
The girl is neurodivergent (the guy might be, too, but he's much better able to "mask" himself to appear "normal" when interacting with people).
-
This is a very sweet story that I'm not quite sure qualifies as romance? I honestly loved the Platonic-ness of their relationship as it goes grows in depth. It might eventually turn into romance, but not at the point where I left off.
-
It's been a few months since I read these, so it's possible I've forgotten something important, but overall I loved these and do intend to buy the rest later.
-
Note that it is sometimes a bit... Uncomfortable, though. Because it is a very real take on how some people's brains work differently (I'm speaking as a fellow neurodivergent).
And that isn't always... pretty.
-
-
Possible Triggers:
-
-
A dog gets kicked for no *apparent* reason. (One of those "unpretty" bits I mentioned.) This only happened once as far on as I've read.
-
-
The girl is a victim of abuse and neglect from her family.
One facet of this is why she hates dogs.
(She got locked up in the dog's kennel with some frequency.)
-
(Yes, she's the one who kicks the dog. So we do get an explanation for why, and it makes sense in context, but... Like I said, it's not comfortable to read. It's not glamorized or prettied up. It just is a thing that happens. It doesn't last long, story-wise.)
-
-
There's some frank discussion of kinks and sexuality. Our Protag guy draws online porn comics to make money. It's discussed openly, but this is not the focus of the story - just backdrop. Nonethless, it could make some people uncomfortable.
