Volume 1 of Izumi Okaya's ``Hitogotogoto'' was released today, April 10th.

``Hitogotogoto'' is set in a world where people have been divided into entire towns after an earthquake. Families with children live in the lush ``educational districts'', workers live in the free and convenient ``commercial districts'', and the elderly spend their retirement years in the warm ``resort areas''. Asami Sakiyama, a renovation designer for used condominiums, is 44 years old, single, and has no children. He doesn't regret his choice, but he feels like he wants to do something for the middle school girl he just passed by for a moment... It is serialized in Monthly Comic Beam (KADOKAWA).
