Hirayasumi Vol. 1

Volume 1 of Hirayasumi. A single-storey house, a moratorium on life, a gift that saves the soul.

Ikuta Hiroto, 29, freeter. No steady job, no girlfriend, and no worries about the future: the kind of free-spirited, carefree guy you'd expect? However, thanks solely to his good nature, he befriends his neighbour, the elderly Mrs. Wada Hanae, who gives him a detached, single-storey house. He then began living with his 18-year-old cousin Natsumi, who had come to Tokyo from Yamagata. However, people burdened by problems that make their lives difficult begin to gather around him...

Does not contain furigana.
