Adabana(徒花) by "Hare Kon" author Non is heading towards its climax

The story of Harekon author Non‘s “Adabana” manga is heading toward its climax in the manga’s third volume. The volume will ship in Japan on July, 19.

Non launched the manga in Shueisha’s Grand Jump on Mar 18, 2020. Shueisha shipped the manga’s second volume in Japan on January 19, 2021. Unlike Harekon this is a psychological, Mystery, Drama, Seinen series that explores the story of Mizuki Aikawa, a girl with rough life circumstances whose life suddenly turned upside down when her classmate Masako Igarashi was found dead in the province.

Shueisha describes the manga as:

“A bizarre murder occurs in a small snowy town. The victim whose body was amputated was Mako Igarashi, a high school girl. And it was Mizuki Aikawa, a classmate, who came to the police as a criminal. Mizuki confesses the crime, but there is a sense of incongruity …!? Real suspense over the “secret” of the two girls who resist the darkness !!”

But, as if things weren’t crazy enough, he already has two wives!”
