Synopsis

On June 24, 1989, 21 people, among them children, were found poisoned to death in the elementary school of Otousu village in Hokkaido. Bungo Sano, a police officer of the same village, was arrested. Twenty eight years later, Sano's son, Shin Tamura, starts to suspect that his father, who continues to plead his innocence even after being handed the death penalty, may have been wrongfully convicted, and launches his own investigation. Upon arriving at the crime scene, a thick fog descends, engulfing Shin, and he finds that he has slipped back in time to the year 1989. The curtain rises on this authentic crime suspense that transcends time and space in a confrontation with the truth.

This was really a very good and interesting read.

A mass murder of people, a large portion of whom were children, marks this family with a lifetime of shame and condemnation.

Unfortunately, his wife dies during childbirth, and Shin, for several reasons, decides to investigate his father's case more thoroughly, in an attempt to prove his innocence.

Here, the manga begins to shine, and ...

This is what the manga tries to analyze under different points of view.

However, at its core this manga is first and foremost a mystery thriller, as it tries to ...

"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 ...
