Solanin

Through the cynical lens of reminiscence, Asano and Nananan examine twenty-somethings coping with the existential confusion of young adulthood. The two short manga centrally observe the turbulence of personal and romantic relationships during quarter life crises, sharing quirky stylisation, a serious tone, and a touch of music. These are cautionary tales for the young, and nostalgic fables for the young at heart.
He wants to play guitar and she's disenchanted with her work -- the same premise, twice over. Solanin is a little more lively and deals with personal tragedy while Pumpkin and Mayonnaise takes a fairly relaxed approach with themes of infidelity, but even with their differences they're markedly similar.
