I went in not knowing what to expect, and I wasn't disappointed. I was very invested from the first chapter and I was shocked about the ending. It definitely wasn't something I was expecting.

Okay, there was a lot going on in this manga, but it didn't take away from how good it was. And by a lot, I mean the many characters that filled the pages, along with the factions and names given to each gift. Well, if you can call it a gift, because for most of those on the Mud Whale (an island vessel adrift the endless sea of sand) their life spans are extremely short.
There was a lot of mystery when it came to this book and how they all came to be floating through the sea of sand. There was even more of that as it got to the last few pages, which really set up the reader for more goodness. Or, in their case, a handful of trouble, combined with a million more questions about their existence.
And there's a lot going on in those pages! There's navigating on a sea of sand with only their "power. There's a sole survivor of another floating island no one has answers for. A crime committed that's been kept secret for as long as they can remember. Then, if them dying young wasn't enough, they have the fight of their lives in those last pages. Can't wait to read more!

I watched the anime a very long time ago and ever since it has just stayed with me. I just realized it had a manga the other day and had to read it.
Perhaps I’m biased because it’s an important piece to me, but I really do adore it. I relate to Chakuro and enjoy reading about someone who feels almost obligated to write.
The story is interesting to me too. Emotions taking such a huge part of every day life is a scary thought, I’d never be able to not cry at a funeral.

One of the stranger stories out there and even stranger if you take into account that Abi Umeda actually didn't come up with it, but found Chakuro's diary in an old shop.
I wonder if it's weird, because we barely know more than Chakuro does (which is not very much) or if it's just a strange would where psychokinesis is somehow linked to emotions and emotions are bad. And we're in a world of sand, on an island of sand adrift in a sea of sand. And clowns happen. Very strange indeed.
