Sketchy

    (Kodansha, 2024)

Ako finds herself coasting along, watching her twenties pass her by. Work at the video rental store, see her boyfriend, repeat... Her days are becoming an indistinguishable, listless blur. Until she encounters a skateboarder practicing a trick—and she’s a girl! For some reason, Ako feels a pull toward the sport. Slowly, all the dreams and ambitions she gave up on and the futures she imagined for herself come flooding back, and Ako resolves to change herself now, before it’s too late. But is it ever really too late to discover something new? From the creator of the digital fan favorite Is Kichijoji the Only Place to Live? comes a relatable portrait of young adulthood.
