Beautiful, haunting, touching, and tragic. Those are the best words to sum up this series so far.

I already had an idea of what I was getting into when I started reading this, but the story still managed to gut punch me over and over.

So glad my past-self already grabbed the second volume from the library. I have a mighty need to know what happens next.

dark emotional inspiring mysterious tense

Reread in Sep 2019. First read in March 2018. Still my favorite manga.

—————

I was recommended this book by the staff of Kinokuniya bookstore when I asked for mangas like Death Note. Even though I bought a different manga that day, I still thought of giving it a try. I am really thankful to them since this was amazing - better than I expected it to be.

4 stars for first half and 5 stars for second half of this omnibus.

This is my second favorite manga after Death Note. It’s suspenseful and thrilling. Satori Fujiyama time travels to prevent a series of deaths which happened several years back, in order to prevent his mother’s death that happened in the present day. I loved the characters, art work, story - basically everything. Definitely going to continue with the series as this book ended on a cliffhanger.
