Nora to Zassou

Now that's a seinen - straight to the point, zero filler, emotionally turbulent. 'Nora to Zassou' doesn't skirt around uncomfortable societal issues: underage prostitution, child abuse, understaffed child service institutions, and police corruption. At the same time, the series doesn't explore these lines too deeply to drag on. It gives us a brief view of these facets and yet paints a comprehensive picture of what it is to be a 'lost' child...or the person who wants to help it. The story is packed with emotions too. Slipping through the societal cracks, Shiori is self-destructive, angry, and prickly reactive. Her only salvation is a grieving, haunted byhis past man who shouldn't be involved in this due to procedural/institutional rules. It's easy to sugarcoat such a story in sweet optimism or send it into the deep abyss of despair. 'Nora to Zassou' does neither. It's realistic and bittersweet from start to finish. Some readers will be disappointed, but to me, this was the right approach. All in all, 'Nora to Zassou' is a series that speaks volumes in only 26 chapters. It's an absolute must for anyone who's into well-grounded drama and manga focused on socio-economic issues. My only nitpicky sentiment is that towards the middle there were several two abrupt jumps in the story. Two to three extra chapters would have made the plot transition smoother. Definitely give this a read. I'm still torn whether the manga is 8/10 or 8.5/10. In any case, it's one of the better seinen series I've read recently.

How difficult it is to live and be happy, I invite you to read and explore this manga, simple in its drawing but beautiful with a great story told from the point of view of 2 people who do not know what their reason for living is. But if you hold on to something you care about, just LIVE. The truth is that at certain moments I get emotional with the reflections and things that he leaves behind, talking about leaving... perhaps the end will leave you with a bittersweet taste or a feeling of thinking and seeing within yourself if what this work says happensto you. you, it happens to someone you know, etc. Simply magnificent. If you like to read things fast, just sit quietly and read it, every minute of the work is worth it. "If you cling to your dreams and cling to living, you will achieve what you set out to do" ------------------- Que tan duro es vivir y ser feliz, te invito a que leeas y explores este manga, simple en su dibujo pero hermoso con una gran historia contada desde el punto de vista de 2 personas que no saben cual es su motivo para vivir. Pero si te aferras a algo que te importe simplemente VIVE. La verdad en cierto momentos me emosione con las reflexiones y cosas que deja, hablando de dejar.... quisas el final deja un sabor agruidulce o un sentmiento de pensar y ver adentro tuyo si lo que dice esta obra te pasa, le pasa a alguien que conoces etc. Simplemente magnifica. Si os gusta leer cosas rapidas Simplemente sentaros en silencio y leedla, vale cada minuto que dura la obra. "Si te aferras a tus sueños y te aferras a vivir, lograras lo que te propongas"
