One manga titled Rakuen o Mezashite follows Shouji, a man struggling with bipolar disorder whose younger brother has recently died. The brother left behind an infant daughter and his wife, Kyoko. Shouji attempts to live with them under one roof to provide support, but his own mental health presents a major challenge as he experiences extreme manic and depressive episodes. The story focuses on the three characters as they strive to build a family and find meaning in daily life, confronting grief, mental illness, and the effort required to simply eat, sleep, and wake up each day against the backdrop of their shared loss.

Another manga that shares this title, alternatively known as the slow-life fantasy Tensei-saki wa Kita no Henkyou Deshita ga, centers on an orphaned boy named Vito. Raised in a frigid northern village, Vito regains memories of his past life as a Japanese person during his coming-of-age ceremony, realizing he has been reincarnated to save this world. With the help of a spirit girl named Shefi who possesses a magical workshop, Vito uses his knowledge to gradually improve the harsh living conditions of his village. He engages in hunting, cultivation, and even builds saunas, earning the respect of those around him including Arrich, a young woman who leads her clan. This narrative follows his efforts to create a paradise through daily labor and innovation in a nomadic fantasy setting.
