Hinako Ashihara wrote shōjo and josei manga about adolescence, family, grief and relationships that change over long periods. Sand Chronicles follows Ann Uekusa after a move to rural Shimane, tracing friendships, romance and the lasting effects of her mother's death from adolescence into adulthood. Piece begins with former classmates reconstructing the hidden life of a girl who has died, turning school memories into a mystery about what people fail to notice in one another.
