One day I was looking for something similar to Deadman Wonderland, and then lucky me, I found this manga. Fukashigi Philia is a manga which story is a bit dark and tragic, but with the occasional very touching moments. For those who love phycological thrillers this might be a good read since the emotional state of every single character plays a very important role in the story. The story revolves around an event that happened eight years prior to currents time, and how it affected the people around the main character. The main character, who is coping with what happened on his childhood by fightingcrime with his group of friends, finds a girl who will end up shattering his new way of life and eventually unlock the true of what happened in their past. Just like Deadman Wonderland, the girl the main character found has some kind of connection with him from his past, but he has no memory of it. Also, it has some fights and its characters have some kind of superpowers that are result of that event in the past. In general, the story was well written, it did close every plot holes and it was a bit unpredictable. The romance part of the story was very little and actually a bit comical, but it was really nice; especially the way it concluded. Art was not bad, it was actually pretty decent. Facial expressions were really good as they showed the mental state of their characters, which as I mention before was a big part of this manga. The design for every single character was really cool and original. In summary, it was a really good manga to read, perhaps a bit too short. However, it came to really good and somehow satisfying conclusion.
Their city is filled with criminals and three incredible high schoolers. Yuugo, Rikiya and Tasuku are determined to clean up the city with whatever means necessary, even if that means using violence. During a typical night of wiping out gangs, Tasuku comes across a beautiful girl held prisoner. She helps him survive what would have been a mortal wound by allowing him to see the future. Tasuku rescues her and takes her home where he finds that her name is Noa, but she doesn’t speak at all and lost her memory. Even more fascinating to Tasuku, she bears the same tattoo as the person he has been searching for years. This sparks the beginning of as chain of events leading to Tasuku's and the other character's dark and mysterious pasts. (Source: MangaHelpers; edited)
The first chapters of this manga may seemed to be another typical shounen-action manga where a group of friends fight "evil" with their own "justice" but it is more than that. Honestly I began to feel bored when suddenly it's story became really interesting. So let's get started and WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! First is the Story, the story is more of a mystery-supernatural wherein the mangaka did a really great job in putting all the pieces together especially how everyone of them is linked to each other. Another thing that made the story good is that Tasuku (male protagonist) ended up in good terms witha certain heroine. Second is the Art. The art is good but somehow it is rather simple or plain especially the action part, but the Art of the characters are quite unique. Third is the Character. The character development each and everyone of them is good. Their past are explained properly through flashbacks. Lastly is the Enjoyment. Since it a mystery and romance I really enjoyed it especially the length of the chapters, it is not that long or short so it is satisfying.
