Yuama's New Yuri Manga "Tayutau Koi no Chirigiwa ni" Meets Readers with Its First Volume
Yuama, one of the beloved names in the yuri world, is back with a story that will soften our hearts once again! The artist's highly anticipated new series Tayutau Koi no Chirigiwa ni (At the Moment When Floating Love Scatters) hit the shelves in Japan on April 17th with its first volume. Serialized in Ichijinsha's popular Comic Yuri Hime magazine, this series managed to capture the attention of readers from its very first chapters.
The story focuses on two popular students who are called the "Prince" and "Princess" at a prestigious girls' school. Although these two young girls, the favorites of the school, appear perfect on the outside, they are actually both going through a severe heartbreak at the same time. Their paths cross unexpectedly, and the two take refuge in each other to soothe the pain of their disappointment. Yuama tells this process of "healing wounds" in a language that is both emotionally and visually impressive.
The creator of the series, Yuama, is no stranger to the yuri community. The artist had previously gained a worldwide fanbase with the highly acclaimed series The Summer You Were There (Kimi to Tsuzuru Utakata), known for its emotional depth. Also known for more cheerful works like The Girl I Want is So Handsome!, the author masterfully processes the fragility of the characters' inner worlds by blending melancholy and hope in this new series.
So, why is this series so important? While the yuri genre usually deals with first love or school excitement, this work brings a fresh breath to the genre by focusing on the theme of "healing after heartbreak." The contrast between the characters' social roles and the loneliness in their inner worlds allows the reader to empathize deeply. With the release of the first volume, how the story will evolve and whether these two wounded souls will find true love has already become a subject of curiosity. If you are looking for a story with high emotional depth and aesthetic drawings, you should definitely add this series to your list!
