さよならセプテンバー

Sayonara September

In Åsa Ekström's debut manga, we meet Alex, who wants to be a mangaka and thus joins a comics art school to develop her talents. There, she quickly makes friends and shares an apartment with some classmates. However, the student life isn't as easy as Alex imagined. She falls out with people, and she can't seem to put the pen to the paper. There's something in her past that haunts her and makes her sabotage herself. Will she ever find the strength to fulfil her dreams? (Source: Kartago, translated) Notes: Japanese remake of a Swedish comic from 2009. Won first place in the 2015 Gaiman Awards.
