At thirty-five, Hana Mizuhara leaves behind the familiar rhythm of Tokyo in search of something she can no longer ignore-a longing to rediscover herself. Her journey begins on the sun-drenched streets of Barcelona, where vibrant neighborhoods, warm Mediterranean breezes, and the promise of new beginnings open her world in unexpected ways.
As Hana wanders through historic alleys and seaside promenades, she crosses paths with Alejandro Ruiz, a charismatic local photographer who sees more in her than she's ready to admit. Their connection is immediate-gentle, intimate, and undeniably transformative. Through shared conversations, rooftop sunsets, and soul-deep moments of honesty, Hana begins to confront the emotional walls she built long ago.
But she didn't come to Spain to fall in love. She came to learn how to live again.
This beautifully illustrated manga-novel blends romance, self-discovery, and the magic of travel into a heartfelt story about finding courage, embracing vulnerability, and allowing life to surprise you. Journeys of Hana Mizuhara is the first in a global series following Hana as she explores new countries-and uncovers new pieces of herself along the way.
