About the series
In the pages of A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow, Makoto Hagino crafts a gentle, introspective manga about loneliness and connection, published by Viz from 2019 to 2022. This nine-issue series follows the unlikely friendship between two high school girls—one a transfer student from a tropical island, the other a solitary soul in a snowy town—as they navigate their differences and find solace in each other. Hagino’s soft, evocative artwork and quiet emotional beats make this a standout slice-of-life story about the warmth that can bloom in the coldest of places.
