Description
Rie Aruga is a josei manga artist from Japan. Perfect World was her first series released in English.
From the creator of Perfect World comes a new josei manga about a pure romance that blossoms in the unfair world of the foster care system. Blending a realistic representation of the situation faced by the most vulnerable children in Japanese society with a page-turning love story, Sheltering Eaves is, like the teens who come to life on its pages, one of a kind.
High schooler Yoru was sent to a group home at the age of ten after her mother abused her. Tenjaku, a boy the same age, took her under his wing. Now, as teenagers, Yoru and Tenjaku only have a year left before they are legally required to leave the home, and they must pack a lot of growing up into a short period of time. The foremost decision in Yoru’s mind: what to do about the feelings for Tenjaku that she’s sheltered in her heart during their years together…
Selected for the hit-making Kono Manga ga Sugoi! (This Manga is Amazing!) list by representatives of the Japanese manga industry.
“Aruga&rsquo,s beautiful character work will have readers strung along on Yoru and Tenjaku&rsquo,s emotional journey, hoping for the two to find happiness while knowing they&rsquo,re bound for heartbreak first.” &ndash,School Library Journal
“The difficult questions teenagers normally face are replaced with harder questions: ‘Who will love me if even my parents won’t?’… I strongly recommend Sheltering Eaves… I hope these kids come out alright.” &ndash,Anime News Network
