This manga is something that I believe everyone should read, especially those who work with children or generally around psychology. I don't know anyone with autism, so this manga was an eye-opener for me. It made me realize how difficult and challenging life with an autistic person is, and my respect for those with autistic family members went through the roof. Even though this manga is on the older side and was never fully competed sadly due to the mangaka's passing, it is truly a hidden gem. (with only 45 votes, like what??) Please give this manga a chance. Everything from the storyline to the characters is remarkable. Also, I'd like to point out that this manga won an Excellence Prize for manga at the 2004 Japan Media Arts Festival!
