The Swallows Will Not Return Mangaka: Sakai Eri Novel Author: Natsuo Kirino Sakai Eri's newest (early 2025) manga is The Swallows Will Not Return, based on the novel of the same name by Natsuo Kirino. It's about a young woman named Riki who lives in desperate poverty. She becomes a surrogate mother out of desperation and is bought by a wealthy infertile couple who want her because she resembles the wife. The manga discusses and depicts explicit sexual topics and is highly concerned with women's (and to a lesser extent, men's) bodily autonomy. Chapters are posted to Mangadex, with full manga volumes being posted here as they're completed. Volume 1 Mangadex Link (when available) Offline Files TBD
