Also in this volume, \"brownies\" enter Shiro's lexicon and repertoire.“This is very much a slice-of-life story in the most literal sense of that term, and it’s a credit to Yoshinaga’s skill with character building that even these everyday conversations are interesting, letting them give insight to the characters without hammering the reader over the head about it… This is the kind of slice-of-life I want to see, the sort that actually \u003ci\u003efeels\u003c\/i\u003e like a slice of someone’s life and not just overly pleasant wish-fulfillment.” — \u003ci\u003eThe Manga Test Drive \u003c\/i\u003eOver the past decade few female comic artists have been as beloved or as recognized for their work internationally as Fumi Yoshinaga.

Since her debut Yoshinaga has penned more than a dozen, with a good number of them having been adapted into motion pictures and animated TV series.
