nex3 reviewed Hakumei & Mikochi Volume 8 by Takuto Kashiki

5 stars
This series is as ever a balm to my soul. This volume is a little bit more of a collection of disjoint stories, but now that the world's been established it's a lovely way of just immersing oneself in it. And that is to a large degree the appeal here: the way in which the world is so detailed and the stories such an admixture of the quotidien and the otherworldly makes it feel like a space to exist in and allow to sweep over oneself. Reading it is meditative in a similar sense to revisiting an old favorite, but it has that effect from the first read.
