New Normal

“New Normal” caught me by surprise. It’s set in a post-pandemic world where masks and social distance have become permanent—but instead of feeling cold or dystopian, the story feels oddly intimate and real.

What I loved most is how it explores human connection in a world where touch and closeness are rare. The main characters feel so genuine—awkward, cautious, but craving warmth. Their slow-burn relationship is filled with quiet moments that hit harder than dramatic ones.

The art is clean and expressive, and the emotions are subtle but powerful. It’s not a flashy manga, but it sticks with you.
