I have to admit, I have a weak spot for mangas that have good art, specially the ones that have cute protagonists. Given this, I was drawn to this manga because, look at that cover image! There's no way this story isn't good, right? Well, I was a bit disappointed. I could not really empathize with the characters, with the idea of the world it presents, nor with the ending either. I think it could had been done much better, but the formula just didn't really work, at least not for me. There is a major event that happens at the beginning, and although the explanationis kept from you to find about later, it is poorly done, in my opinion. You are left with a sour taste of "yeah, I know this is supposed to be a mystery, but it just doesn't fit?" Talking about pieces that don't fit, a lot of traumatic things happen to the protagonist, but you don't see psychological consequences in her, and her actions are a bit irrational to say the least.
Fifteen years ago, Earth was abandoned by God. Since then, no creature has been able to give birth nor fully die, leading to a dire catastrophe. Appearing as humanity's last hope, only gravekeepers are capable of giving peace to the "dead"—resurrected humans who degenerate over time. In a small village situated beside the mountains, a little girl named Ai lives her life blissfully, serving her duty as the village's gravekeeper. However, tranquility shifts with the arrival of an eccentric, enigmatic individual: Hampnie Hambart, the "Man-eating Toy," whom Ai claims to be her father. Hampnie murders all the residents in Ai's village, leaving her completely alone and traumatized. With no place left to call home, she decides to follow Hampnie on his journey. As she learns more about Hampnie, Ai realizes that there is a hidden motive driving his seemingly cruel actions—and even her own existence may not be as simple as she previously thought.
