otakulys's manga / #strange(12)

That was... very odd. I guess it's open to interpretation, though I'm not really sure what the second chapter was meant to inspire. I mean, obviously there had been that longing from the time he was a child, but I don't really understand what it was meant to symbolize for him to go back later. I don't know, the first one certainly could be an allegory for suicide. Especially criticizing the person who's in the bed, kind of reflecting someone falling apart and falling into despair. There's more to read into, I guess, but it didn't grip me enough to make me want to extend the effort.

Weird, but not as bad as I thought it would be based on some of the earlier elements. Sometimes I love this mangaka's art, and sometimes it's kinda meh. This one shifts back and forth, but it's kind of on the meh side. The plot could have been better. The ending is kind of weird and ambiguous. But at least they tried to include some intrigue. If it had been polished, I would have liked it more, but I'll give it a 3.5 for effort.
