Sheltering Eaves 5

Rie Aruga

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. The anger inside Tenjaku finally bursts, and there are consequences legally as well as personally. He is sentenced to juvenile detention after assaulting his father in retaliation for hitting Yoru. The systems intended to support vulnerable youths have their limits, especially after children age out. As Yoru and Tenjaku work on healing themselves emotionally, they remain committed to a future together. How will their codependent relationship survive after they leave the children’s home?
