This work is bigger than a manga, it adresses some issues really well, throws out thought provoking questions that are fundamental (It is my opinion that there are several main questions that doesnt have an easy answer which majority of the people ask themselves, and their answer to those questions determine the way they live) to life so common that sometimes they are sidelined by other things, depicts somewhat reality of the world we live in. Across all of that we follow our protagonist on his journey.
I am a sucker for works that focuses on the main characters but I didnt feel it for this work. Yet again, this work is interesting enough that it wasnt even an issue. There was an absolutely beautiful (I am not saying well-drawn, mind you) heroine that is incomparable to "waifu" characters thrown in just to do fanservice without the slightest hint of personality. She made me feel deep emotions that very few characters managed to do.
This work also made me realize that the way I thought how people are coping with the reality of their existence might just be me projecting me own thoughts and actions on them while in reality people can live without even having thought about it. I guess there are more misconceptions I have and the projections I do unconsciously, I hope I too will realize them and confront them successfully
Quite frankly I was not able to make sense of certain scenes and was able to make sense of some scenes, I think this is the kind of work that you have to think about at some points which might be (understandably) not many peoples cup of tea. I honestly dont know how this became this popular since I thought it was intended for a more smaller audience (psychological manga are generally harder to start as it requires a little bit more attention and thinking [which people understandably might not want in their manga they just want to read to have fun])but I am happy that it worked out.
