Where it came from
New Normal is a manga series written and illustrated by Akito Aihara, originally serialized in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shonen Magazine starting in 2021. The narrative is set in a post-pandemic society where wearing masks has become an ingrained, universal social requirement, exploring how this shift influences human connection and romance among high school students.
Aihara's aesthetic leans into clean, contemporary character designs that emphasize the eyes and subtle body language to convey emotion in a world where faces are partially obscured. The work was received as a timely reflection on the psychological shifts of the 2020s, blending traditional high school romantic comedy tropes with a speculative premise centered on the normalcy of health-related anxiety.
