I quite enjoyed reading this but I feel like the ending undermined the message the story was trying to convey. I thought the overall theme was “we are not defined by our parents” or “we are our own people” or something. I think by ultimately making it so the dad wasn’t the killer kinda just destroyed that entire message by kinda saying “of course Eiji isn’t a bad guy cuz his dad wasn’t actually the killer”. I would have much preferred if the father still turned out to be the murderer but it was a good read nonetheless.

It’s so nice reading a manga about an independent women whose life doesn’t revolve around men. Lots of manga showcase pretty outdated views on women and how they should throw their life away when they get married or how their lives should revolve around their significant other. This had a very modern and refreshing view of the working woman, especially considering it’s a generally older manga. I found myself very drawn to the characters. 10/10!
This shit is a masterpiece and I will never emotionally recover from the impact it had on me.
