Hirayasumi (Vol.4) - Keigo Shinzo

Hirayasumi (Volume 4) by Keigo Shinzo, published by Viz Media, continues the thoughtful slice-of-life series that celebrates slowing down and finding meaning in everyday moments. With warmth and quiet humor, this volume deepens its exploration of modern adulthood, connection, and personal change.

At 29 years old, Hiroto Ikuta lives without a fixed plan—no full-time job, no romantic commitments, and no urgency to define his future. While his relaxed approach to life doesn’t always resonate with those around him, Hiroto remains content, offering a gentle contrast to a world often weighed down by anxiety and expectations.

As Christmas draws near, Natsumi takes on the challenge of hosting a holiday party, only to discover that good intentions don’t always lead to smooth outcomes. Meanwhile, repeated chance encounters bring Hiroto and Yomogi, a serious and disciplined realtor, together again and again. As their very different lifestyles collide, both begin to question long-held assumptions and open themselves to subtle but meaningful change.
