Obviously the center piece was the difficulty for both characters to know who they were caring for : the memory of the ex wife flowing through them, or each other ? I think it could have spawned more angst, especially with the gorish condition of Asako, spilling actual blood everytime he connects with her memory, but they were also two kind characters who tried their best to keep things separated and not take (too much) advantage of the situation. I liked the contrast between Asako and his childish, dreamy self, against a more manly, clear-headed Kuroiwa, though I would have loved to see the latter be more skeptical, and have the two of them struggle much more to understand the truth behind their sentiments, but ultimately they're both quick to accept the supernatural and work with it.
The more I write, the more I wish the story could have been given a third tome, but with the space allowed it managed to tell a good story, have nice moments and just enough blood and enigmas for a murder case. I recommend checking it out.
