First off, I’m actually surprised that this reminds me of Bartender, though just vaguely. It started out with Suna giving her a glass of Darjeeling Cooler and right before it showed how to make it. Then it does it again a couple minutes later.

Now I have to say, this is actually a really good short. There really is no reason not to read it since it’s only a one shot. The story line is rather goo and there is a small lesson involved though not as strong as I think it should be.

The characters aren’t really memorable but the story line is the thing ... that seems to stand out rather well. Sometimes its hard to see who is talking and other times they switch from one place to the other back and forward but other then that, this is a must read if you can find it. I didn’t think they could make a really good mystery in just 31 pages but they did rather nicely.

The artwork is rather thick lined and the faces don’t really have much definition to distinguish them from one another. The hair shows the most detail alone with the lines used for shadows. It’s all inked with no half tones at all. This makes the manga a bit to dark once in a while.

Let me start with the character first. Why? Because personally, this is the only thing that bothers me so much. The main problem is the character build. I don't know, maybe it's because I already watched anime "Bartender" before i read this one-shot. I really disagree with Suna's behavior. He seems totally uninterested with world. I think what bartender should do is not to reveal his/her true self. But in here i feel like seeing another Oreki Houtarou from Hyouka. I admit that he can do his job well, but his "uninterested" eye and "too relaxed" stand really make him less looks like an average ... Bartender.

Art is fine, temple is tidy, sfx is not too crowded. (ofcourse because it's not totally action). So nothing to be discussed about.

The Story is the main reason i give it a fair score. Simple, not too strong, but unexpected. That's what I like from mystery genre. It can make all readers (not only mystery geek) can understand easily.

Maybe I'm just dumb... Or the first 10 pages are confusing. I didn't quite understood who was talking until page 12ish.

The story is about a person who's willing to do good things without wanting something in return; justice.

On my opinion, the girl would've not solved the case if the guy haven't helped her. Honestly, she's dumb... They should've given the guy better credits than the girl.

This manga sure has a lesson to tell us.

I recommend this to anyone who can read this review. It's not good where you can say 'awesummm' , but this manga can clearly tell us one thing other mangas forget.. Being ... nice to people, justice, and doing something good without something in return.
