recommended for: anyone who enjoys warm shoujo manga
This particular mangaka excels at making heart-warming stories about love and friendship in school and out of it. Many of her series feature some supernatural element. In Land of the Blindfolded, the main characters see peoples' futures and pasts when they touch them.
This of course makes romance and everyday interaction a challenge and moral dilemma. Like so many of her other stories, self-acceptance, making connections to others no matter what bitterness they carry, love and friendship feature heavily in the themes. The drawing style is lovely. My favorite chapter features a character dreaming in the school's vegetable garden..the use of space in those particular frames are beautiful.
