Chiisakobee 2

A quirky, poetic manga about a young, gruff carpenter's attempt to keep his family business afloat, all amidst a wacky, found-family drama and romance. A touching series in just four volumes.

After a fire burns down his family business and claims the lives of his parents, the young heir and master carpenter Shigeji vows to rebuild the failing venture with his late father's words in mind: "No matter how much the times change, what's important is for our kind to have compassion and dedication."

The stubborn Shigeji refuses to accept help from those around him, adamant that he revives the company on his own. With his and the equally stubborn Ritsu's bond slowly forming, it seems things might finally look up for Daitome…until one more disaster brings everything crashing down.

This bold and ambitious reinterpretation of Shūgorō Yamamoto's classic historical novel Chiisakobee is brought to life with the full flourish of Minetaro Mochizuki's bohemian brush!
