* Spoilers*
I was impressed how Urasawa was able to write a complete story in only 9 chapters, with multiple welll-setup characters and a satisfying character arc. Urasawa has always been a master at having characters feel like real people, with great dialogue, and great designs and expressions. Moreover, his stories always have a great pace, also seen in the artwork that may seem less detailed and pretty than your average manga art, but it serves its purpose and always conveys the right atmosphere.

However, it seems Urasawa bit of a bit more than he could chew, the second half of the last chapters feels like ... an exposition dump basically solving all the mysteries. That part felt very rushed, similarly with the Mujirushi symbol. From the title, cover and first chapter, you would think that the symbol would have some large meaning or maybe connect everything, but it really does not. Especially the last reference to it seems very forced how Michel supposedly has always dreamt of becoming a certain tier of firefighter who wear a badge with the Mujirushi symbol... Billy Bat did the reoccurring symbol a lot better, and I think this manga would have been much better without it.

This could possibly be one of the best manga I have ever read, I worry that I will overhype this, but I just really enjoyed it.

I think that a big part of my enjoyment came from the fact that I purchased this with no prior information as to what the story was about and didn't even open it up to check the inside, so when I actually sat down to read Mujirushi, it shocked me at every turn.

I think that the twist and turns and shocking and unexpected, the story is interesting and the characters are deep and interesting, there really isn't a ... downside to this story.
