In This Corner of the World creator Fumiyo Kōno has launched her latest manga series, titled Imeru Fūri, which began serialization on March 6.

Kōno gained widespread recognition for her deeply moving manga In This Corner of the World, which tells the story of Suzu Urano living in Hiroshima during World War II. The series earned critical acclaim for its thoughtful portrayal of everyday life during wartime and was adapted into a successful animated film in 2016 by director Sunao Katabuchi.

The animated adaptation of In This Corner of the World received numerous awards and praise for its beautiful hand-drawn animation and emotional storytelling. The film resonated with audiences both in Japan and internationally, cementing Kōno's reputation as a masterful storyteller.

While details about Imeru Fūri remain limited, fans of Kōno's previous work can expect her signature attention to detail and ability to capture the human experience through her art. Her storytelling often focuses on the resilience of ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances.

Given the success of In This Corner of the World and its anime adaptation, there's natural curiosity about whether Imeru Fūri might eventually receive similar treatment. However, it's still early days for the new series.

Fans interested in Kōno's work can currently watch In This Corner of the World on various streaming platforms, and the manga is available in English translation through several publishers.
