That was just wonderful. Beautiful, crisp artwork, and a fascinating story. This guy really knows his stuff.
The lettering for the English translation sure was atrocious, though. Makes me wish my Japanese was better.

We follow Hiroshi, a father and grown adult, into a little detour that will take him years apart from that moment, for what purpose? to right what wrongs? would the future even change if he puts his mind into it? so many questions that makes this novel a page turner and will leave you in your toes up until the last page you turn.
The novel explores themes of grief, family and loss, we explore Hiroshi's past, the influence of his family, friends and environment into his life. we reflect on the possibility of future circumstances and whether or not they would change.
it's a theme often dealt with in real life, if given a chance of stepping back into the past, what would one change? would we even try to influence the course of events? is it destined to happen? and without much limitations or rules that sci-fi novels often love to line out, we explore in this novel the destiny of Hiroshi and how these questions unfold in his life.
beyond the storytelling, the graphic elements are a delight to hold, as the frames move seamlessly to create a close to cinematic effect as one reads, it's quite easy to indulge in such a masterpiece however slow paced it may be.
The ending leaves many interpretations but a solid conclusions on previous questions is drawn and to not spoil I shall leave it to you to discover what happens to Hiroshi and how his experience can be a learning point in real life.

yoda_bor's review against another edition

Un homme se retrouve sans le vouloir coincé dans son corps d’adolescent 40 ans plus tôt. Il lui vient alors l’idée de comprendre pourquoi, cet été là, son père a quitté la maison familiale pour ne plus jamais donner de nouvelles.
Il connaît le futur et profite de chaque instant mais, petit à petit, il se met à changer des petites choses. Son futur lui semble de plus en plus lointain alors que son nouveau présent lui parait bien agréable.
C’est un splendide manga qui pose de bonnes questions sur le temps qui passe et notre rapport avec le passé.
Si on pouvait changer une chose très importante qui a eu lieu, est ce qu’on le ferait ou est ce qu’on l’analyserait avec notre regard plus âgé ?
Une œuvre très réfléchie, vraiment mature, qui se savoure et qui redonne l’espoir.
Rien n’est vraiment perdu et il est toujours temps de vivre ses rêves.
Et puis Hiroshi a t-il vraiment vécu tout ça ou a t-il rêvé ?
Seul son ami Daisuke a la réponse à apporter à ce voyageur du temps.
