Synopsis

Junichi Naruse, an average guy with a passion for art, decides to pursue drawing and painting again. Upon doing so, he meets and falls in love with Megumi Hamura. After they start dating and eventually make the decision to live together, Junichi visits a real estate office. However, while attempting to save a child during a robbery, he is shot in the head.

Regaining consciousness a month after the incident, Junichi's miraculous recovery is made possible by receiving a brain transplant from an unknown donor. As time passes, Junichi notices drastic changes to his personality, affecting his relationships as he struggles to maintain them. Gradually approaching the brink of insanity, he attempts to figure out the cause by determining who the donor is before losing sight of his own identity forever.

Predictable but OK manga.

Story :
starts very sweet, quite predictable, not overly dramatic. I wouldn't say it is sci-fi, more like a thriller. It is not action packed at all. See it as a slow burn thriller.

Identity is an extremely fascinating subject matter for a horror manga.
However, much nuance and skillful character work is needed to handle it with effectiveness, whereas authour Higashino Keigo seems incapable to write even a single multifaceted character, instead proposing a cast of flat caricatures that do not go through any type of development whatsoever during the course of the story. The lack of character depth makes it even harder to stomach the plot: a few interesting ideas and pleasantly unsettling scenarios here and there, but overall a painfully childish spookfest with a complete lack of imaginative developments or interesting psychological explorations. The author refuses to ...
