Considerations This is a spoilerfree review. 60+ in my rating means below average. Ive got to read this work on a friends recommendation. I didnt look too much into the synopsis and just started reading. The Story A woman fell from the top of a building. As she collides head first her body is unidentifiable. She carries no ID or wallet. The only clue is the phone next to her. Was it a suicide? Was it a murderer? Who is this woman? At first they made a good mystery and I was engaged but I find the best mystery is the one that doesnt give you information so you have to play the role of detective creating your own theories with the little information that you have trying to understand peoples motivations and so on. Unfortunately that wasnt the case with this work. The story makes use of different timelines and keeps adding different pieces of information that dont trace a straight line to the conclusion but rather make a curvy path that you cant really focus on. When I was reading I found myself creating theories about the mystery and finding those theories false because of a new addition. Then I created another theory and another piece of new information crushed it. That keeps happening until the end and in my personal opinion thats not the best way to write a mystery. Although I can see people feeling euphoric about the number of theories and such. Another point that I feel is important to point out is how they approach the erotic. There are a lot of erotic scenes and while some are justified and make sense There are also a lot of sexual scenes without any real need almost forced into the story. It doesnt even seem like fan service its just odd. Chp. 7 page 14 ?? The good point about the story is the philosophy. There are a lot of quotes and visuals that you can look at and reflect upon. That was definitely one part of this work that I enjoyed a lot. 420https://files.catbox.moe/sscrdr.jpg An example of a philosophical moment The Art Style The art at first was really amusing to me. At first the style of slender long body strong expression amazing eyes and eyelashes really got me captivated. With time I started to notice a lot of backgrounds lacking information and a lot of weird proportions especially when theres a sexual scene. The author starts to distort the character in weird ways. 420https://files.catbox.moe/darwod.jpg Example of background The Characters The story focuses mainly on two characters. I think that their story is done pretty well even though it can be confusing. Background characters have no development or depth whatsoever. Conclusion If youre like me you skip everything and read only the conclusion because you dont want to get spoiled with other themes. So I will try to be brief on this point: Maybe read it. If youre a real diehard fan of mystery you may actually enjoy this work. The philosophy of the manga is also a good point but if youre looking for a normal mystery that you can read at ease Im afraid thats not the best choice.
