Hatsukoi no Sekai Manhua

Title: First Love in a New World Kaoru Komatsu stood at a crossroads in her life. Turning 40 had forced her to confront the harsh reality that time was slipping away faster than she could grasp. Despite her successful career as a manager of a bustling Tokyo coffee shop, Kaoru felt a gnawing emptiness deep within her soul. That emptiness only grew when she received the news of her sudden transfer to a rural town called Kadoshima. Leaving behind the familiar cityscape for the tranquil countryside seemed like a cruel twist of fate. With a heavy heart, Kaoru packed her bags and embarked on a journey to the unknown. As she arrived in Kadoshima, the picturesque scenery and warm hospitality of the locals slowly began to melt the ice around Kaoru's heart. She found herself entangled in a web of new challenges and opportunities, from reviving a struggling cafe to adapting to a slower pace of life. Amidst the quaint charm of Kadoshima, Kaoru's encounter with the enigmatic carpenter next door sparked a flame of curiosity and longing within her. His quiet strength and unwavering support became a beacon of light in her journey of self-discovery. Through the ups and downs, Kaoru's once monochrome world bloomed with vibrant colors of friendship, love, and newfound purpose. As she unraveled the layers of her own heart, Kaoru realized that the second half of her life held the promise of new beginnings and endless possibilities. In the quiet embrace of Kadoshima, Kaoru found not only a place to call home but also the courage to embark on a new chapter filled with hope, love, and the sweet fragrance of first love in a new world.
