You know a manga's going to be a damn good read when you literally
stumble upon an (alleged) domestic abuse incident in only the first chapter, of all places to ward off your audience.
Coming from Solain, I know Asano writes depressing stories. I didn't love Solanin, but something tells me this is a better story. I can deal with some darker themes, but please let there be a solid payoff that isn't shrouded in darkness.
On a lighter note, Asano's art style is so, so good.
