I love this quiet, quirky manga, with its gentle mixing of mundane, everyday anxieties with the occasional bits of the supernatural. Always a treat to have it show up on my feed. Thanks for the translation!

Guess the blues and Tohoku go together. The blisters from guitar giving me flashbacks when i was a kid damn. I saw a tweet recently, this manga got an official French translation a while back and won a prestigious award this year, lol crazy how France loves manga so much.

thanks for the double chapters.

No surprise that this manga got an award, France has always taken bande dessinée (comics) quite seriously, especially the more grown up series, so even less than hugely successful manga like this one (and Gabai, check that one out) have been translated to French and not to English.

I don't care much about awards, but I have noticed that Kaoru Mori (Otoyomegatari) and Jiro Taniguchi in later years also have won awards at Angouléme, and Taniguchi's manga A Distant Neighborhood was filmed in France decades ago.
Many of Taniguchi's manga could be a good fit to readers of this manga, the curious ones could start by checking out single volume mangas like Inu wo Kau, the Keiyaki tree or The Walking Man.

At last, double thanks for the double chapters.
