Abstract

I can translate that for you. Here is the English translation.

A humanistic celebration in full color, now available as their first paperback book.

"That's a very beautiful heartbeat." With those words, a young boy's life is quietly changed.

After an unforgettable encounter with a male doctor during a junior high school check-up, Kuse never forgets him. Years pass, and Kuse begins working as a resident at a medical center. During his first examination, that unforgettable voice jumps out at him.

Coda, which was self-published on the author's social media account, became a popular series, with its self-produced editions selling out instantly, both in their first and subsequent printings. Now available in book format, this volume includes a new 17-page chapter that depicts Kuse visiting his old middle school as a doctor, years after the original story's conclusion. It also includes the author's first medium-length work, Right Cheek's Kizuna, which tells the mysterious story of a bond between a salaryman and a middle-aged man, linked by a stuffed animal with a scar on its right cheek.

The dynamic composition and innovative paneling, which forgoes traditional borders and is rendered in full color, creates an art book-like atmosphere that harmonizes beautifully with the quiet emotions of the story.

A heartwarming book that quietly weaves together relatable emotions.
