MEIK0TO's manga / #seinen(6)

Bleak ending. The plot twist was weak. However, this is an interesting concept that is hard to execute.

That is literally so sad. Even without an explanation, we can immediately infer what happened. The way that he immediately bursts into tears after realizing is so tragic. He’s going to live his whole life thinking that he killed his brother. And the way the adults are congratulating him is so disgusting. This really pulled on my heartstrings. But both of them looked the same so I don’t understand why the other brother was talking down on himself and saying that he wasn’t smart or cute. Normally, I don’t like reading an art style like this but for this story, I think it’s very suitable. The author’s work is amazing and I recommend it.

Delivers the message of how everyone is forgotten after death and those who had known you will soon be forgotten too. Very deep-rooted ideas if you think hard about it. The art suits this story.

Aha, absolutely mortifying. The artwork makes my skin crawl. Basically, resentful animals turn into monstrous killing machines that wreak havoc on humanity. The main character goes through a plethora of near-death situations but somehow miraculously survives. There is a load of gore in every nook and cranny of each chapter. Pretty good in terms of horror. Unfortunately, I think it was dropped by the translation team.

A lazy high school student earns the power to warp time. However, the catch is that he cannot turn back time and that he will have no memories of the time period that he has skipped. He ends up getting stuck in a “time crevice” but the time guardian manages to pull him out. He wants to go back to that time crevice in order to watch suspense TV shows forever. He then proceeds to skip until the end of his lifetime in order to step into that time crevice again, he doesn’t succeed. It’s a pretty interesting concept but it could’ve been utilized better if the MC wasn’t a fool. The plot is a bit nonsensical. The way that a random “time guardian” jumped out of nowhere and gave Yamada powers is ridiculous, I’m not buying it. I am annoyed that we had to follow through it with such an unambitious main character. He got what he deserved and he even ended up watching less television than the average Japanese person. Lesson learned, don’t abuse your time warping powers so you can watch more suspense mystery shows like an idiot.

“I have wings. I can touch the floating dreams that call me from afar. Through the wind, Take me.” The beauty of short pieces like these are that they’re meant to portray an emotion. You may wonder about this girl’s backstory, however you are still sympathetic for her. It’s profound.
