[Suzuki Kyoutarou] Tabako-san on the window Ch. 1-3 [Ongoing]

Tabako is the kind of girl who smokes by the window and mutters that maybe she should die, and the narrator who watched her can't forget the sweat-slick afternoon he finally closed the distance between them. Suzuki Kyoutarou's ongoing series threads her defloration and nakadashi moments together with other small bodies surviving unbearable homes — one girl terrorized night after night by a knife-wielding mother, another offering herself to a suited stranger with a dead-eyed plea to be looked after. Bleak, tender, and unsparing, every chapter trades explicit intensity against a melancholy that lingers like cigarette smoke.
