Series Notes: This is a 3 volume series. All volumes are released and available.
One Fine Day is a three-volume slice-of-life contemporary fantasy that follows the everyday adventures of an unconventional (some of them are animals) and magical (animals that sometimes look like human children) found family, and it is the sweetest, fluffiest, most adorable manga I've ever had the pleasure of reading.
Despite minimal dialogue it is a story best savored at a slow, leisurely pace to enjoy the detailed illustrations, sentient inanimate objects, and all the little surprises tucked into the background. There are three animal-human children (a dog, a cat, and a mouse) and three adult humans (one novice magician, one mischievous magician, and a young lady border in the last volume), all of which reside in a magical old house in a quaint little town. Through the volumes they bake cookies, play in the snow, practice magic, clean the house, run errands, and go on treasure hunts, all the while making many new friends such as a street cat and his minions, the fallen moon and its starry companion, and the fairies of the attic furniture. Although the last volume gets a little thoughtful and melancholy as it looks back on pre-family pasts, sunshine ponderings, and childhood memories, overall One Fine Day is a collection of lighthearted stories about three adorable animals, three amusing adults, and their sweet and magical life together. Highly recommend if you need a heavy dose of wholesome fluff, perhaps on a lazy afternoon to accompany a favorite tea and pastry.
