You may have recently seen a manga by the name of "Jumyou wo Kaitotte Moratta" climbing up the MAL rankings and cementing itself near the top of the all-time rankings. Aozora to Kumorizora has the same author as the aforementioned manga and in many ways, is similar in its tone and use of very light science supernatural elements combined with almost a Slice of Life feeling. I will try to avoid spoiling this interesting manga as much as possible and leave it up to you decide whether you want to start it.
Firstly is the story of this manga and while interesting, it does have its moments here and there where it gets lost in itself. Obviously the manga lacks the necessary chapters that are probably required to flesh it out and therefore I'm inclined to give it a chance until such a time when it is finished or nearing completion. With 16 chapters out so far, the story is interesting and captivating enough to merit a read with characters that open up on themes of death and the meaning and value of life itself. There's a few early twists and unexpected events to make this manga tick along nicely so that is a welcome addition.
The only other thing to talk about with this manga so far is its art style. I am of the mind that is unique in a sense but I'm not totally convinced on it. It may grow on me with more time but at this stage it is lacking the detail that I look for in character design especially concerning the eyes of characters but as I said before, this may change in the future.
Overall, this is a fascinating little read that I think many fans of "Jumyou wo Kaitotte Moratta" would enjoy with many themes and tones being borrowed to create a completely new world and fascinating characters.
