Yokubari na Musume-tachi
欲ばりな娘たち
A collection of five short stories by Emiko Yachi, each focusing on young women navigating the complexities of love, desire, and everyday life. The tales explore the inner conflicts and quiet rebellions of girls and women as they confront societal expectations and their own yearnings.
In one story, a girl's seemingly innocent wish leads to unexpected consequences. Another follows a young woman's struggle with her feelings for a married man. A third depicts a child's perspective on war and loss. Through these varied narratives, the manga delves into the bittersweet nature of human relationships and the pursuit of happiness.
