キャットストリート [Cat Street]

In Cat Street (2005–2008, Shueisha), manga artist Yoko Kamio crafts a poignant eight-issue series about a former child actress struggling to reconnect with society after a traumatic incident derailed her career. Set largely within a special school for misfits, the story follows her tentative steps toward friendship and self-acceptance alongside other outcasts. Kamio, best known for her earlier hit Hana Yori Dango, brings her signature blend of emotional intensity and character-driven drama to this more intimate, character-focused work. It remains a quietly resonant exploration of resilience and the fragile bonds that can heal fractured lives.
