Umino Chika Does it Again

In March comes in like a Lion [1], Chika blew me away with the final chapter of volume 1. The series is still slice of life, but quickly culminates into a poignant story of an orphan growing up.

Her art transitions from the goofy to the sublime.

While there was a sharp dividing line between the personal and the derivative sides of Honey & Clover, 3gatsu seems more natural and united. I hope that this works comes over. I guess that I've got to do my part - cha-ching.

[1] 3gatsu no Lion - currently scanlated by Be With You Scans & SCX Scans.
