I'd like to start out by saying the art in this manga is absolutely beautiful- the style is extremely unique and captivating.

Overall, the story is good. The mystery of the novel kept me drawn in, the characters are also interesting, but due to the frequently changes in timeline even within the same chapters, it can be hard to follow. You have to give this book your undivided attention to fully take it in.

I personally loved reading Utsubora, and personally recommend giving it a reread to fully take it in.
