3.0

Re-reading the first manga I ever read back in 2006. A suitably messy slice of life told in vignettes weaving past and present, as several characters grapple with the untimely death of a loved one. The drinking ashes hook is both literal and metaphorical, but the heart of the story is what's said, and not said, throughout.
