The condition varies from volume to volume, with some browning on the edges and top, but I don't think it will significantly affect reading. This is one of Fujihiko Hosono's representative works from the nostalgic 1980s. It's like Hosono's version of "Maison Ikkoku," a romance between a single mother with experience in marriage and a younger boy. It became a turning point for the author, who was previously working in the field of shonen manga. It sometimes delves deeply into love triangles, going to school, finding employment, and custody battles with the ex-husband.
