Still lovely after all these years/volumes. As ever with manga series, start with volume 1. The artist's style hasn't changed over time, exactly, but her lines feel more sure, somehow. Good Natori values in this outing, pleasing to me because he is my favorite secondary character.

It also has a truly excellent anime adaptation of several seasons, all episodes following their parent stories closely, a big plus for me. To be found on Crunchyroll and likely elsewhere.

Ta, L.
