The fruit of the roe

Everyone woke up at once for the Icho fruit.
And it was thrilled. Today was certainly the day I left...
This story depicts the day when the roe fruit falls. It naturally and gently expresses the affection between parents and children and the psychology of children leaving the world.
Let's listen to the conversations of the cute, roe children.

"I've been conscious of it for a long time because I have the same name as me."
Oikawa Kenji, who is active in the unit "100% ORANGE", will depict the cute and bold world of "Sicho no Mi." This book is also worth noting for its beautiful overlap of colors.
