"no"

first off, the mangaka is pretty brave to broach this kind of story. it's good because there's plenty to think about and consider past the initial shock.

It's strange, a lot of the time the story seemed to wander randomly. And yet for things to get wrapped up like this, I feel like the author is more of a master of their craft than most of the popular manga authors. I am glad to have read this. Thanks to the scanslation group, too.
