Hirayasumi, Vol. 2

With a carefree outlook on life, Hiroto knows better than anyone that slowing down is sometimes the best way to move forward. At 29 years old, carefree Hiroto Ikuta doesnt have a girlfriend, a full-time job, or a plan for the futureand he couldnt be happier. Hirotos breezy attitude isnt easy for everyone to understand, though. In a world filled with anxiety, confusion, and grief, Hiroto and the people who surround him are all just doing their best to figure out this thing called life. The summer weather isnt the only thing heating up around Hirotos little family home. Hirotos best friend, Hideki, starts growing increasingly worried about becoming a father; Yomogi, Hirotos new friend, begins to crack under the stress of her busy real estate job; and Natsumis friend Akari struggles with her self-confidence. For people under so much pressure, Hirotos laid-back demeanor can be downright frustrating. But with things reaching their boiling point at the Asagaya Tanabata Festival, Hirotos positive outlook might be exactly what everyone needs to relieve the tension.
