I can't believe this series has no reviews, and I definitely can't believe its average rating is so low! I'm not huge into going into massive in-depth reviews of series, but I will say one thing about this one. It is definitely a must-read. The message it is able to deliver along with its character development in only 12 chapters is something that I have only experienced a couple of times while reading manga. (Three Days of Happiness included). This manga is one that you are clearly able to understand the authors message, but it does not take away the impact the message has. Thepurpose of the manga is also presented in such a beautiful way, that I can't help but find it an extremely enjoyable read. At the end of the day, it is hard to find such a hard-hitting manga with such few chapters, that you will definitely not regret taking time out of your day to read this one.

For a quite short manga, it delivers well. The story of this manga revolves around the theme of life, regret, and human beings. It's trying to be that manga that has deep meaning, and provoke heartwarming feelings. But tbh, the delivery isn't very good. This manga feels like it tries to copy that other manga where the MC sold his life for cheap etc. Although got the premise right, it delivers with no more than OK to just. The series try to be deep and add cliche foreshadowing and well... it's fine i guess. But nothing amazing. Good drama, quite likeable cast (too edgy), art ismeh, it delivers, just nothing that amazing. Overall manga experience a solid 7/10.
