Reviews

Reading the reviews here, I realized that this manga was based off of on a true story. After reading the manga, I checked out the real story to see how near to the actual story this manga was and also if the victim was faring well. What I found out was...disturbing. The manga is not even close to the real injustice the victim faced. This, however, does not make the manga bad. In fact, I am glad the manga did not remain true to the actual case because the torture the real victim faced was just horrible. No, it was more than horrible.

This is an important manga to read, in my opinion. It shows how far humans can go in being evil. As a psychology minor, it was easy to understand why some characters did what they did specially in the case of Hiroki. Please keep in mind that doesn't mean I excuse his actions. The author omits alot of the details from the real case but still is able to say the story in a way for us to be able to sympathize and also get our blood boiling. This manga touches upon rape, murder, and just the ugly side of humanity. Definitely a must read if you can stomach the cruelty shown in this manga.
