About This Series
Twice a Day is a mature slice-of-life romance manga written and illustrated by acclaimed creator Ryo Ikuemi. The story follows Remi Sonoda, a woman grieving the sudden passing of her husband, and Toki Kagiya, her former classmate who returns to his childhood home after a divorce.
Living right next door to each other, Remi and Toki slowly rebuild a fragile connection amidst memories of the past. Their shared history includes Toki's close friendship with Remi's late husband, creating a bittersweet dynamic that feels grounded and deeply realistic.
