Ryoko Nagara's "Hokkoku Yurayura Kikou," currently being serialized to popular acclaim in Shogakukan's monthly manga magazine "Gessan." An exhibition of the work will be held in the town of Yakumo, which the main characters visit in the latest volume 2.

"Hokkoku Yurayura Kikou" is a story set in Hokkaido, where the slightly shy and unemployed protagonist, Tsukiko, along with her dream-chasing freelance friend Chitose and their share house companions, loosely re-examines her life through travel and daily living, "wandering" along. In the latest volume 2, the protagonists discover a "wood-carved bear" sleeping in the back of their share house. They visit the town of Yakumo to search for its roots.

Please come and experience the scenery of Yakumo as drawn by Ryoko Nagara, the various spots the characters actually visit, and the delicately depicted wood-carved bears. Witness the familiar scenery shine as a story in the very place that became its stage.
