Reiko Momochi

Each of the stand-alone episodes deals with a different problem of teenaged girls such as suicide, self-harm, sexual harassment, prostitution and bullying.

This manga is based on the novel Pierrot by Teruhiro Kobayashi, Darai Kusanagi and Tomoji Nobuta.

It tells the fictional story of a high school girl from Fukushima-shi and the aftermath of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster which affects the lives of her and her schoolmates.

Although they live far away from the contaminated evacuation zone, they have to face problems such as the fear of long-term consequences of possible exposure to radiation, many schoolmates relocating to other prefectures, the decline of the farming and tourism sectors which causes financial trouble for their parents, and social ostracism by people from other parts of Japan.

Tokenai koi to chokorēto (とけない恋とチョコレート, literally „unmelting love and chocolate“) was also serialised in Dessert and subsequently published in two volumes in 2016.
