Side notes: As this is an autobiography it's events are based on the real life and aren't fiction in principle. So reading this manga is itself a time travelling experience to the past that is unknown to us readers but known to the author. The chapters are pretty long when the first chapter zero took close to 90 pages to be told and after that the chapters stay in longer form. But still... the art is good but not pretty kind of work. Also the story is realistic as you can expect from autobiography so that puts it in category of drama and slice of life. It shows some good and bad about humans and how they treat other people around them so that's way it's kinda wake up call too. If this feels to be your genre take a look around.^-^b I'm not that active with drama so I'm reading it but r-e-a-l-l-y slow pace.
Main character
Mizutani Osamu
One could say that his like a street missionary, taking care of those that are left outside due of different kinds of life circumstances. He likes to offer a new start for those who need it, a clean start with past forgotten and accepted as they are with good and bad.... although it's not easy to start from a clean table and leave the past behind.
