George Asakura writes manga about young people, desire, art and relationships that rarely behave in tidy romantic-comedy patterns. A Perfect Day for Love Letters is a collection of linked or separate love stories, while Piece of Cake follows a young woman whose attempt to restart her life becomes entangled with work, neighbours and an unstable relationship.
