I like to read sad stories and Kizu is one of the saddest stories I've ever read. It's about friendship and love. That sounds a little bit cliche, right? Maybe it is. But Kizu has a very interesting premise and I found myself pretty involved in discovering this premise while the main character, Keigo, told me about his life. Here are the reasons why I appreciated this manga so much:

Story - I don't want to give spoilers to anyone, so I'll just say that Kizu made me think of the meanings of cruelty and kindness. How can some people suffer profoundly, I thought to myself, and still find a way to be good to others?

Art - The manga is beautifully drawn. It's not cute. It's not awesome in a shonen style. It's just beautifully realistic. This characteristic caught me in the first pages.

Character - The main character, Keigo, and his best friend Asato are just kids. But they proved to me how complex can be a child's feelings. Sometimes, they act like adults and this is touching.

Enjoyment - I had a pretty good time reading the manga. Can't think of anything I have disliked.

Overall - Kizu is a story I'd like to remmember. Although it's a very short manga, I really appreciated all its aspects and the capacity of Keigo and Asato continuously walk through the pains they have to face.
