Yuzuki-Sanchi no Yon-Kyōdai. #22

Yuzuki-Sanchi no Yon-Kyōdai, or The Four Yuzuki Brothers, began serialization in Shogakukan's Bessatsu Shōnen Sunday in 2018. Created by mangaka Shizuki Fujisawa, the series centers on the daily lives and emotional growth of four brothers who lost their parents, navigating the complexities of grief and brotherhood with a gentle, grounded tone. Issue 22 represents a significant point in the mid-to-later progression of this narrative, capturing the author's signature balance of slice-of-life humor and poignant character development.

Fujisawa’s design approach emphasizes expressive, character-focused artistry that avoids over-stylization in favor of warmth and relatability. The series has received consistent critical praise for its nuanced portrayal of familial bonds, eventually earning the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award in the shonen category in 2020. Collectors and readers value these individual issues as archival snapshots of Fujisawa's evolving pacing and thematic depth as the brothers face the challenges of adolescence.
