Synopsis

In 2006, a patient of a psychologist in New York sketched the portrait of a man she had repeatedly seen in her dreams. After several other patients claimed to have seen the same person in their dreams, the image was made public. Soon, there were reports from many others around the world who claimed that the same man appeared in their sleep. "This Man"—as he came to be known—eventually became nothing more than an urban legend.

In present-day Japan, forensic sketch artist Hakaru Amano uses his illustration skills to assist the Kumamoto Metropolitan Police. His life, however, changes when he meets Hoshiko Akesato, who approaches Hakaru in hopes that he can draw the man that appeared outside her home the week before. When he finishes his sketch, he is surprised to see that it is the same face as This Man.

Not long afterward, Hoshiko witnesses This Man brutally murder her mother while Hakaru's apartment is set on fire. When the artist finally encounters This Man outside his building, Hakaru is given an ominous warning that death awaits those who lay eyes on This Man. When it becomes clear that the mysterious perpetrator has allies within the city, Hakaru and Hoshiko are forced into hiding. Nevertheless, Hakaru resolves to hunt down and capture This Man and his accomplices before they can strike again.

The plot develops too quickly. The guy in whose honor the manga was made hardly appears in it. Genres are a separate topic altogether, the author tried to make some kind of a detective story but failed.

I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say this: people who have read at least 10-20 works in their lives will understand everything here, because of the author's inability to present the story properly, all the charm disappears, and it's a pity, it could have been really interesting.

And now, briefly: the events unfold too quickly, a failed attempt to make a detective story, a merged ending ...

Preliminary (37/43 eps)
A lazily written story that, if you've read a mystery plot before, won't find anything that's new nor a solid story.

Let's get the positives out of the way. The art looks nice, and at the beginning, there was serious tension and an interesting story. The protagonist was slowly being driven into a corner, not knowing if the next person would betray or try to kill him.

Then, it throws all of that out of the window, trying to pretend it's Death Note, but the twists are so blatant or just pushed into the story out of nowhere.


Most, if not all characters in the manga are also ...
