Review:
I decided to read this manga since it held the second spot of best manga in Myanimelist. At first it was too depressing for me to handle, I didn’t know how anyone could go on reading something like that. Though when I finished the manga I was so glad that I stuck to it. It was absolutely amazing and totally deserves the second spot! The manga is so hopeless, yet it teaches you about hope. I think I’ve leaned how to live reading that… Even though the manga is so sad. The glimpse of happiness that was there is indescribable. I never thought that I would like this type of manga… Given the genre and all. Surprisingly I loved it! I totally recommend it.
Overall Rate: 9/10
