春の呪い [Haru no Noroi]

A quiet, haunting slice-of-life drama from Ichijinsha, Haru no Noroi (2016–present) follows a young woman grappling with loss and the lingering presence of her deceased sister, whose spirit seems tethered to the man she loved. Across a single, emotionally dense issue, the story weaves grief, memory, and the subtle boundaries between the living and the dead. Writer and artist Asuka Konishi crafts a delicate, atmospheric tale that resonates for its restrained exploration of love and letting go. This series matters as a compact, powerful example of how a single comic can deliver a complete, affecting narrative.
