Synopsis

After returning home from school, Tokiko Kurosu finds her foster father dead on the floor, seemingly having tripped and fallen onto the corner of a table. However, Tokiko seems to be utterly unaffected by his death.

The entire Kurosu family gathers at the hospital to mourn, where they encounter police officers Koga and Yashiro, who wish to ask a few questions about the incident. Although initially defensive toward the police, the family begins to point fingers at Tokiko after another family member is killed.

Apparently, many accidental deaths have occurred around Tokiko—starting from before she was adopted. Given her unfazed demeanor when faced with the deaths of those around her, Tokiko appears even more suspicious. While Koga and Yashiro are convinced that these deaths are coincidental, the ceaseless killings surrounding Tokiko lead the remaining members of the Kurosu family to take matters into their own hands.

The way Shi ni Aruki views and treats death is very intriguing. It challenges the conventional view of death and how one might react to it or simply not react at all. The art is good and helps to express the mangas feel but I think maybe a more abstract art style would help to convey some of the feelings and concepts explored. The ending may be a bit of a cop out to some people but I tend to look at is as more of a "make up your own mind" kinda ending.

Overall I really enjoyed this manga and I especially enjoyed getting ...

I thoroughly enjoyed this take on a detached and estranged MC. The vibe of the manga is largely something like Final Destination meets Criminal Minds. In the beginning, it is a very strange environment that seems to move very fast, ultimately slowing to a bit of a heavy slog when discussing things like occult and death. That luckily does not take away from the overall story, which can feel a bit disjointed. I found it overall charming, as the MC kept things kind of fresh for me. I didn't feel sad for anything, which I think might be a great achievement for a manga revolving ...
