人間のいない国 [Ningen no inai Kuni] #3

A young girl with close-cropped hair dashes forward alongside a towering, fantastical creature draped in a flowing purple-and-orange cloak, its gourd-like head surrounded by glowing lights and lush, oversized foliage — a cover that radiates warmth and gentle wonder. Volume 3 of Lonely Place, But I Am Here continues Iwatobineko's quietly captivating series about a girl seeking answers within a golden royal palace filled with the non-human. The subtitle's promise — "a story about a girl pursuing why she has to suffer" — lends real emotional weight to what otherwise feels like a verdant, magical adventure just waiting to unfold.
