ふたりエスケープ [Futari Escape]

Shigemitsu Harada and Yuki Akaneda's Futari Escape is a brief, quiet series from Ichijinsha that captures two young women stealing small, tender moments of freedom from the pressures of adult life. Over the course of four issues (2020–2023), the manga follows roommates as they slip away into the city's overlooked corners—a late-night convenience store, a rooftop at dawn—finding solace in shared solitude. Its gentle, slice-of-life storytelling and focus on mundane intimacy resonated with readers seeking a story about connection without drama.
