I really enjoyed Tengoku no Hakoniwa. I consume a lot of sapphic content, and I'm always looking for things that are unique–this usually comes with a shift in setting. So when I saw this oneshot about two girls living together in a post-nuclear world, I was quite excited. After reading it, while I did enjoy it, I really do think this would be much better in a properly flashed out series, rather than a oneshot. It's very clear that there's more to this world, but there isn't enough time for the story to develop them. All the positives of this manga are a double-edged swordbecause it just makes me wish there was more. The (few) characters are very interesting, what with hidden motivations for certain characters and what-have-you. But that just makes me sad that the characters weren't explored more. The art was, to be frank, fantastic, which makes me wish I could have seen more of it. You see what I'm getting at. Overall, I *would* recommend reading Tengoku no Hakoniwa, because that might get the mangaka to write a fleshed-out version.
In a post-nuclear world where most of the earth is uninhabitable, a girl named Lily lives in an underground cave. To keep her company is an android called Selene, who has been owned by Lily's family for multiple generations. Together, they have supported each other for nine whole years in what is otherwise an incredibly lonely world. However, both of the girls harbor the hope that survival will one day be possible in the outside world. Holding onto this belief is easier said than done, though, as Selene is the only one capable of going out into the atmosphere of the earth without being killed. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
