"Theseus no Fune", written by Toshiya Higashimoto, was a pleasant surprise for me. In my exploration of manga, I was keen to read this manga, not only to discover the author, but above all because it has had very good critical feedback in France. Really? It was justified!
I found the writing of the characters remarkable. The author cleverly explores the different sides of her characters' personalities, allowing readers to become emotionally invested in the story. The relationships between the characters are complex and nuanced, adding an extra dimension to the issues at stake. Moreover, the motivations and dilemmas facing the characters are well-constructed, creating

captivating situations all the way through.
On the technical front, the author's cutting and drawing style are quite clean. Higashimoto's drawing style is both realistic and expressive, with precise linework and rich facial expressions. What really appealed to me was the perfectly balanced narrative rhythm, alternating between intense and quieter moments, allowing the story to unfold in a fluid and engaging way. For a thriller, that's a pretty good point.
Finally, what remains interesting about this manga is the complexity of the issues at stake. This is one of the most fascinating aspects of the work. The author tackles themes such as identity, destiny and the consequences of our choices, creating a deep reflection on human nature, particularly on the protagonist's side. The story's special feature is time travel. This concept is used in an innovative and intelligent way. It allows the events the author wishes to show us to unfold smoothly, while avoiding the clichés associated with time travel. This subtle, thoughtful approach makes the work all the more captivating, while offering a reflection on the nature of time itself.
In conclusion, "Theseus no Fune" is a highly interesting manga that deserves all the attention it has received. Toshiya Higashimoto's work stands out from other mangas in the genre. I highly recommend this series to all fans wishing to discover something different.
