Manga Pick of the Week: Restart After Coming Back Home by Cocomi
For this year's last manga pick I want to recommend one of my favorite reads of the year, and that is the Restart After Coming Back Home duology. It starts with Mitsuomi, a gloomy and directionless young man who has just returned to his rural hometown for the first time in a decade after being fired from his job in Tokyo. It’s there that he meets Yamato, a happy-go-lucky man about his age who was adopted into Mitsuomi’s community during his absence. The two are inexplicably drawn to each other, and only grow closer as they together unburden the pain and secrets they carry with them.
