Takashi Murakami is capable of convey feelings and emotions through his work at the same level as the great Jiro Taniguchi.

After a car accident, a husband stays in vegetative state so the mother has to raise her son solo. In a way that reminds the plot from Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki, Murakami makes the story feels more realistic since he is an artist of manga of manners. The development of the lonely mother and how she find strenght in her loved relatives to keep going and carry on her pain. The art is nothing spectacular but it does not matter since the important ... is in the story and what it makes you ponder.

Aoi Tori makes us approach sad events like death and ilness. That's the reason this bittersweet manga is recommend for adults or people who have lost relatives.
