Synopsis

Haruma Sakuraba's childhood friend Shuuji Inukai was a cut above him in every way imaginable, living out the glamorous life bestowed upon him. Haruma, an unassuming salaryman, has lived his every day clutching onto his inferiority complex, existing only in Shuuji's shadow. One day, Haruma coincidentally meets Shuuji's wife, Reika Sumi, who Haruma has always secretly admired since his high school days. With feelings of envy, jealousy, and more, a "secret" is born from Haruma's repetitive days.

This manga excels at keeping you on edge. While it has the vibes of a soap opera, I was thoroughly entertained by the tenseness of every reveal and would not say it’s melodramatic. Rather, it lacks the dumb twists I anticipated, subverting those expectations in place of ‘adult-like’ drama and suspense that culminated to something satisfying. The biggest mystery is discerning what every character is actually thinking or actually knows, like who’s to blame or who’s the victim, which pairs well with the subtle dialogue you can easily miss while flipping through every page thinking “What the fuck am I reading/is going on?”

Its short runtime ...

Quick note: the manga has 41.5 chapters, not 43 as MAL has noted for some reason.

Onto the review: simply said, I feel this is a severely underrated manga. I'm giving it a solid 8.5/10 based on three main factors:

- The simply gorgeous art/drawing style
- How re-reading the first half after getting to the end gives you a completely new perspective on what's happening in the initial chapters

I'd add one more: brevity. The author doesn't milk the story; these 41.5 chapters are fairly short at 18-19 pages each. The story is compact, fillerless and straight to the point. Respect to Asaga ...

I had no idea what I was going to be expecting when I started reading the manga but after the first chapter, I was instantly hooked. This manga will keep you wanting more and more and the suspense is so intense.

I am someone who loves mystery but not in a dark story but Inu to Kuzu is more than a dark mystery story. It is full of crazy, creepy, and insane plot twists that keep you on the edge and wanting more. The story feels out of place, it just happens all of a sudden that you can't focus on what's happening. Sakuraba's character really ...
