Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria

Both works are primarily driven by well-paced character development and use dramatic tension relentlessly and to great effect. They both build-up to their final arcs very well. While Onanie is set in the real world, Hakomari also succeeds in remaining "true to life", that is: gritty, ugly, and no reservations. Sex, violence, abuse, and redemption are neither glossed over or glorified in these works.
Onanie is; however, a story that dedicates a lot of time to dealing with the main character's guilt and his search for redemption. Is this the case in HakoMari? Not quite.
