ブナの森のアリア [Buna no Mori no Aria]

In this compact three-issue series from Kadokawa (2021–2023), artist and writer Irie Yuki crafts a quiet, resonant story set in a beech forest, where a young girl named Aria navigates the rhythms of nature and memory. Known for their delicate linework and atmospheric storytelling, Irie brings a gentle, introspective tone to this short work, which stands as a tender meditation on solitude and the natural world. Though brief, the series' limited run allows for a focused, poetic exploration that lingers with readers.
