So far the 2019 reboot has been pretty faithful to the manga. The first volume just scratches the surface of the dark undertones that I know are coming later. But Takaya has a gift for balancing light and dark. She explores human nature beautifully. Her characters seem so real; honestly she does some of the best character work I've ever seen in any media format.
The blurb doesn't really cover how deep this story is, so don't let it fool you. If you enjoy stories about flawed characters, trauma, grief, mental illness, the power of human connection, healing, and personal growth then pick this up (or go watch the 2019 reboot!). Yes it gets quite dark, but it's evened out by humor, slice of life coziness, and loveable characters.
Moderate: Injury/Injury detail, Death of parent, Violence, Grief, Toxic relationship, and Emotional abuse
Minor: Cursing, Sexism, Blood, Car accident, and Mental illness
