I enjoyed this manga in a way I haven’t for most in a long time. I don’t know if I just have a proclivity towards edgy slock but by god when it’s done well it never bores me. If there is one thing I enjoy about this manga after reading all 116 chapters of it is the surprising amount of heart that is etched into every single moment. A ton of time and energy is devoted to the development of interpersonal relationships, establishing full arcs within these dynamics setting the stage for some real emotionally tragic and cathartic moments. As the series continues we spend a lot of time with each character spending time to flesh out even characters that aren’t our main characters but they still service the purpose of the plot of the arc giving a real sense of chaos. The concept of people’s desires and the strength of human conviction is a welcome one and is an element of the story that very much flies in the face of Japanese cultural norms. Drawing on the human desire to escape mundanity. I’ve seen a lot of detractors from the series claim that the plot is messy and chaotic. But within the context of the narrative it services the purpose of conveying the chaotic consequences of human desire. All throughout the story we are met with tons of morally complicated situations that challenge our main character really helping us to understand his development. He’s a pretty unlikable character at the beginning but the fact that the story seeks to explore individuals like this and their growth shows a real heart to the series. It’s a story that struck very close to me at moments and helped me to pause a moment and to think about the lives and perspectives I’ve otherwise would’ve overlooked. Yes it’s not original in anyway but it doesn’t cease to have an impact with its consistently entertaining nature. Truly a series worth consideration!
