Synopsis

Ireland, 1849. The country is currently amid the Great Famine. Caused by a potato blight, hundreds of thousands have died due to starvation and other deadly disorders. Due to these circumstances, paying rent has become difficult for farmers, resulting in the eviction of many from their land. Two such people who got caught up in this dreadful situation are Amelia, a frail 14-year-old girl, and her servant Connor. Her family's land was taken away, forcing the pair to struggle while living as vagrants.

However, just across the sea, a rather profitable event is taking place—the California Gold Rush. With aspirations of becoming millionaires, Amelia aims to turn both her and Connor's lives around. They decide to travel to America, hoping for a life without ever needing to face hardships again. Katabami to Ougon is the story of two refugees as they venture outside of Ireland, with only their hopes and dreams pushing them forward.

Cue sentence complaining about a rushed ending.

Move onto the next one; read illegally of course.

Fuck me it's okay folks. I mean hell how do you think I read this one? Legally? I tried I really did.

As an Irish person I must say going into this manga I had low expectations. But this manga blew me away. It's a rare gem.

The historical accuracy is on point from the bleak coffin ships to the horror of the famine as well as the treatment of Irish immigrants in America during the 1840's/50's. It's informative and interesting at the same time. The mangakaka clearly researched a lot for this manga.

Don't be deterred by the deppressing sounding description of this manga because, although it has very heavy tones, the optimistic attitude of the main character, Amelia, helps keep the manga upbeat.

I don't want to ...
