I started to read this manga just by chance because of the interesting description, but still I was surprised by the story. There is a lot of room for interpretation and I have to rode pages few times to made most plausible course of events. But still some moments don’t have plain answers and you are free to choose your own version. Just keep in mind, that I’m judging this manga from my point of view.

Story is about two victims of kidnapping, which have their own problems dealing with experience of meaningless violence. They were able to survive, but they can’t return to their previous casual lives, which are already ruined. Even after 8 years there isn’t any progress in their mental state and I think no one can simply overcome that kind of trauma. It looks like they have to live, although there is a little meaning in that. So then I think about this story only two words come up in my mind. First is “Dark” because of the strong and thought out psychological theme of victims, which is main keystone for the whole story. Second is “Silence” because violence strip life from its purpose and on some questions characters can’t give proper answer. This story rather encourages thinking about place of violence in a human life then gives a new insight on this complicated problem.

The narrative style is very good, which makes you focused on the plot and characters psychology. First time I read it on one breath without any thoughts about late time and tomorrow early wakeup. There aren’t any places which you want to skip and the story holds attention, making well-timed twists. Furthermore, any scene has its own meaning and can’t be reduced or cut. No boring causality, no boring conversation, no needless details. In that way the story is simply perfect and there is nothing redundant in it.

The characters are complicate, but hopefully with no overuse of psychology, which makes them pretty understandable. Every their action has its own reason concealed in their past or their sacred desires. Relationships between them aren’t stick to some stable pattern and have no need in any particular labels.

If I’ll try to describe this work in few words they would be “minimalistic psychological drama”. It is very pleasing to read, but you shouldn’t lookout for philosophical depths and questions of good and evil. You will have to think on your one to make sense of events and find answers for troubling questions. And that balance between "getting attention to the problem" and "trying solving it with diffucult philosophical construction" is reason why I like that story.
