Toukei Ibun is a story that lies between the truth and falsehood. Hiding behind the pretense of a suspenseful mystery, it portrays a social critique of the past and modern times. This hidden aspect made the story so much more rich in layers and characterization, that left you with a thought provoking state of mind at the middle and the end.
The art was slick, well-constructed and mostly a pleasure to look at. The characters were realistic, and their actions easy to understand. The ending felt a little bit rushed, which was a contrast to the realism of the pace beforehand. The mystery aspect mixed
...
with the unique interpretation of the supernatural made the story very intriguing, though the interest spiked mostly only after a chapter or two.
With its short amount of chapters, Toukei Ibun is a manga that screams of crisp execution that lets you live into the story of darkness, which is composed of so much more than you can imagine.
