Born during the sunrise—an auspicious beginning—the Azumas' newborn son is named Hikaru, which means "light." But during one play date, his mother notices that her son is slightly different from the other children. In this alternately heartwarming and bittersweet tale, a young mother tries to cope with both the overwhelming discovery of her child's autism and the trials of raising him while keeping her family together. This is a story that resonates not only for those whose families have been affected by autism, but also for all past, present, and future parents.

The chapter count includes the one-shot "Thank You Sensei!, Haru no Manazashi".
The English publishing of this manga only had 8 volumes, compared to 15 in Japan.

Genres: Slice of Life

This intimate manga anthology is about the struggles and triumphs of individuals learning to navigate daily life with a developmental disorder.

This inspiring volume illustrates their diverse anxieties and finding self-empowerment in a world not quite built with them in mind.
