土星マンション [Dosei Manshon / Saturn Apartments] #5

Two window washers in padded work suits cling to a rope far above a sprawling cityscape that stretches to the horizon below them — a quietly breathtaking image that captures the everyday peril and wonder at the heart of this series. Published by Shogakukan under the NKK Comix imprint, Saturn Apartments vol. 5 continues its meditative slice-of-life story about life lived literally on the edge, high above the world. If you appreciate manga that finds beauty and tension in ordinary labor set against extraordinary circumstances, this volume belongs on your shelf.
