Book Summary
The fifth volume of this acclaimed manga series continues to explore the romance between Nomoto and Kasuga, now in the exciting and complex stage of searching for a shared home. The work masterfully combines the tenderness of a developing relationship with a subtle yet incisive social critique of the difficulties faced by same-sex couples in a society that often renders them invisible. Through cooking as a metaphor for care and connection, readers will find a heartwarming story that also addresses highly relevant contemporary issues.
What is it about?
Nomoto and Kasuga have taken the step of formalizing their relationship and are now facing a new challenge: moving in together. However, what should be an exciting process turns into an odyssey when they discover that the real estate market is not prepared to recognize a same-sex couple. Bureaucratic hurdles, strange looks, and a lack of legal options put their determination to the test. Fortunately, they are not alone. The support network they have been weaving, made up of friends and acquaintances who understand their situation, becomes a fundamental pillar for overcoming these obstacles. This volume delves into the construction of a home not only as a physical space, but as an emotional refuge and an act of quiet defiance.
