Words about MOTHERS
“A gorgeous collection of intimate and delicate short stories that speak to the heart. I would advise to read them little by little and letting them sink in, as you can tell how the author poured their soul into each one of them.” – Solace
“A collection really well drawn slice of life stories. Their premises were really unique and had deep emotions. My favourites were ‘Body’, ‘A Good Day for Tiramisu’, ‘Dragonfly Sora’, ‘Rapunzel Today’, and ‘Mothers’.“ – Jerry Chen
“A really beautiful, really thoughtful collection” – Manga Machinations
