Seasons Captured: A Touching Journey Through a School's Final Year
So, the latest news is out! Nishina's very much awaited book, "Even if it's swallowed by the spring light", finally hit the stands today on March 18th. It is a story that many manga lovers have been waiting for, and seeing it officially released is quite a big deal for the community. The narrative is set in a backdrop that feels both nostalgic and a bit sad, focusing on the lives of young girls during a very transitional phase of their lives.
The plot revolves around two main characters, Narumi and An. They find themselves in a unique, albeit slightly melancholic situation as the last new students of a high school that is scheduled to close its doors for good next year. It’s one of those stories where you can really feel the weight of the environment. These two girls are eventually tasked with a very important job: they have to take photos for their final yearbook. For anyone who enjoys a deep spring light romance, this setting provides the perfect atmosphere for character growth and emotional connections.
The Dynamic Between Narumi and An
The way these two interact is quite interesting because they are complete opposites. Narumi is someone who is very much focused on her future. She wants to dedicate all her time to studying so she can transfer to the specific high school she has her eyes on. Because of this, she only reluctantly agrees to help with the photo project. On the other hand, we have An, who is a bit more aimless and feels like she is just floating through life. But surprisingly, she starts the filming process with a lot of happiness. As they work together on the graduation album, they gradually get to know each other properly. The story beautifully depicts the four seasons of these girls as they deal with a mix of anxiety and hope for what lies ahead.
