Little Forest

The daily life of Ichiko, a young woman who lives alone near a small village called Komori (lit., "Little Forest"). Each chapter features a dish or meal scavenged from the forests and mountains around Ichiko's home or harvested from fields she cultivates herself.

While there are no wild flights of fancy as in Witches or Hanashippanashi, the organic artwork and majesty of nature featured within this short series taps into that same source of magic. Little Forest is another piece of the stunning tapestry Igarashi Daisuke continues to weave today. (From: MU)
