[Manga Introduction] Happy-Colored Room

Today, I thought I'd introduce a manga instead of a novel. You might know it since it was adapted into a drama. "Happy-Colored Room" - 11 Volumes Total This is the story of a kidnapper and his victim, a young girl. Looking solely at their relationship, it's quite twisted and dangerous. And while it seems devoid of "happiness," for the girl, this situation was also a form of salvation. As the tagline says, "A miserable girl is kidnapped and learns 'happiness' for the first time." (From the back cover of Vol. 1). Looking at the cover of the first volume, the girl has numerous bruises and marks on her body, yet she's smiling. This means they weren't inflicted by the kidnapper. A relationship that's over if discovered. How will the world of just the two of them, isolated from society, change…. From here, I'll discuss details about the cover art and some thoughts. I've included the covers of Vol. 1 and Vol. 11, as well as the spine art for all volumes. The volume numbers, I believe, are designed to look like a camera shutter. And the final volume. In a place resembling a riverbank, only the man is dipping his feet in the water. I can't say for sure as it would be a major spoiler, but I suspect this symbolizes "that kind of thing…." You can read it on hakuri's pixiv, so please check it out if you're interested.
