Side notes: I really was thinking should or should I not to add this manga here today. It fits perfectly to the theme that I was using today and has good statistics... but it was never finished due the death of the author. T.T Still I decided to add it on as an reference work if not anything else and 'cause I'm not making extra manga today it's on the main list now. The art on this manga is clean and on decent level so no problems there. The story itself is more puzzle to solve... there is some stereotypes involved but they are not being too much burden for the story. As looking back in time one can kinda feel a premonition in the theme and the author's own life story... but that's only speculation made afterwards with no truth in it.^-^ As it is now it is okay storyline though some things do happen kinda "too" fast and I'm not that keen about that.
P.s. The first story begins and ends with the same scene.
