The Spring afternoons playing on the floor of his father's barber shop, the fire that ravaged the city and his family home, his parents' divorce and a new ‘mother’.

This is a very quiet manga, in which a son attends his father's funeral and reflects on what his father means to him. Some of these reflections are childhood flashbacks, and they reveal different aspects of the father-son relationship. I found these flashbacks very moving, but I also found them interesting from a historical point of view -- it's like a glimpse into a Japan of a different generation.
High-quality storytelling and genuine emotions. A real jewel!
