Ninety percent of this manga’s locations are revisits.
Hegura Island, an inhabited island in Ishikawa Prefecture where ferry service has resumed, is currently uncertain for general visitors, so we plan to skip it this year.
Winter brings frequent cancellations due to rough seas, so we’ll conclude island coverage in November.
Next year, we have fixed commitments in autumn, so we’re considering revisiting Hegura Island around that time.
