Hakumei & Mikochi: Tiny Little Life in the Woods

Hakumei is coerced into participating in an event with “cuteness” as its theme! Maya-chan, the port town’s old-timer and the owner of Ossicle, suddenly goes on vacation? Meanwhile, Conju and Sen work hard at cooking! Long-time companions surprise each other with unknown sides of themselves in this heart-racing twelfth volume. And Harushina, the black mink bladesmith, makes a reappearance!

Friendships are forged on the forest floor as Hakumei, Mikochi, and their growing circle of companions take life one day at a time. Some days are a whirlwind of activity, like when Jada is called upon to design hairstyles for an entire theater troupe with a performance that night! Other days are perfect for a stroll around town, piecing together half-forgotten memories...and looking forward to lunch. And sometimes adventure calls—in the form of an elusive cow?!
