It's possible that giving a 10/10 on everything could be seen as kind of biased on my part, but I really, really think this is an amazing piece of art that should be read by as many people as possible. Maybe it's just that I encountered this manga at the right time of my life, but either way, even if it's not perfect objectively speaking, it's an amazing manga that deserves a chance.

First, the art is absolutely marvelous. Probably the part I enjoyed the most about this. Every single page is beautiful, and it was kind of difficult for me to keep a good pace, because I just couldn't stop admiring how well done this is. It's funny how the colored pages are just "meh", while the normal pages are the best. As a side note, I loved the way hands were drawn. I'm not very sure why that detail caught my attention so much (since the manga in general has really good drawing), but it just did.

I started reading this so that I could have a good laugh at how ridiculous some stories can be, and ended up being completely hooked. The story really does start looking like a Death Note parody (I bet it was intentional, by the way), and then it takes a route that I just wasn't able to predict. I also cried quite a bit at the most dramatic and tension-filled part, which is not something that'd normally happen with manga in my case.

Character development is great. Kurosawa starts being annoying and matures in such an incredible way... I'm not going to say any more, but it was really inspiring. It made me think a lot about my own personal life. From disliking this character, I ended up admiring him in a way. All characters in general are well-developed and just feel so real.

I don't have anything else I could add without repeating myself, so I guess I'll stop here. Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did.

I guess even the most ridiculous-sounding plot line can be a heart-warming masterpiece if you know how to work with it.
