Story: 9
If you have watched a movie called “The Vow”, it has a similar vibe to it; moreover, in the current state, vines of mysteries and suspense is going to crawl over your brain as the story progresses.
Since this manga is relatively new, I will give it a -1 for potential error; however, I have huge optimism for Mayuzuki’s work since she just completed a fantastic manga piece prior to this one.

The time-lapse style of drawing certain scenes and the Hong Kong-ish background/setting make it a magnum opus for this category :) So many details. Love it!

Overall: 9
For readers who are impatient or first time reading Mayuzuki’s work, I have to warn that the manga’s story is relatively slow-paced and can be unpredictable. You have be to patient with the storyline. On the other hand, if you have read “Koi wa Ameagari no You ni” and loves that manga, then you shouldn’t be worried. Mayuzuki’s story telling is extremely detailed oriented and you won’t regret your decision by following this manga. But, the only common theme between this and her previous word only overlaps in the "romance" aspect. Other than that, these two works are extremely different from each other.
Enjoy the “fine dining” experience with this manga~
P.S. If someone is having a hard time distinguishing present and past, check out if Kujirai is wearing her earrings.
