Synopsis

A teacher's murder at the hands of his student is the talk of the town. Due to the perpetrator's youth, the media censor his name and dub him "Boy A." His purported motive is simple: he disliked his teacher.

The actual identity of Boy A is Takashi Ogura, a cheerful and unassuming student, and the truth behind the events is something he will never utter. In reality, he caught the teacher raping his childhood sweetheart, Yui Sasaki, and bludgeoned the man to death to protect her. Having spent three years in a correctional facility, Takashi is out, living a normal life under a new name. But as he continues his life, the past returns to haunt him. One's sins are not easily forgotten, and the question lingers—will he forever be known only as Boy A?

I've read a few darker mangas, but this one is the most unique and (to an extent) the most realistic.

The story has good pacing and does a good job of making most of the characters flushed out. The final twist was somewhat unexpected, but also made enough sense that it didn't feel out of place; a relatively hard thing to perfect when telling a story. The ending was also an average bittersweet one.

The art was somewhat basic, with the exception of a few scenes having some more detail. However, considering the genre I was reading, it was something that I expected.

Most of the characters were ...

This manga is a unique one for me since I havent read one that touches on the ideas and points that this one does. In that regard I think this manga is quite good. However as a general manga that I read, it was mediocre to say the most.

Like I mentioned, the story is a unique one and had a lot of potential with what it set up in the first 3 chapters. With that said, I think what the manga did do was very lackluster and didnt use its potential at all. While I wont say it stayed safe with its plot, I can ...

This manga really gave off a bad feeling. Throughout the entire manga, it seemed like frustration covered my mind.

Firstly, the main character Takashi, he is a loser and pathetic guy. Why could he just because of an outsider, yes, that was Sasaki, because of her he could push all his relatives, family, and even his best friend into misery. like those? they cried a lot, so much that he still said that it was worth sacrificing for her, Sasaki. So what about his family? Is he crazy or just a S.I.M.P guy?

secondly, the female character, Sasaki, I know her is the victim but can't she ...
