Misaki Takamatsu

It's wintertime in Tokyo! Even as Mitsumi juggles Valentine's Day infatuations and White Day revelations, the high-school life of this natural-born happiness influencer is hurtling headlong towards spring--and her second year in high school!

Skip and Loafer Vol. 6

The critically acclaimed romantic comedy about a country girl chasing her dreams in Tokyo–soon to be an anime! Excellent student Iwakura Mitsumi has always dreamt about leaving her small town, going to a prestigious university, and making positive change in the world. But she’s so focused on reaching her goals that she’s not prepared for the very different (and overwhelming) city life that awaits her in a Tokyo high school. Luckily, she makes fast friends with Shima Sousuke, a handsome classmate who’s as laid-back as she is over-prepared. Can this naive country girl make it big in Tokyo with Sousuke by her side? This charming manga was nominated for the 2020 Manga Taisho Award and is sure to skip its way into your heart.

The series keeps making space for the stories of the whole friend group. Nao's chapter in particular was very touching and I am glad that she is not respresented as a gag and that her struggles are shown as nuanced and layered.
