Synopsis

While being estranged by his daughter and being blamed by his wife, middle-aged office worker Iwashita lives modestly in his own way. That is, until he met Shiina, a girl who suddenly appeared one day in front of him. She then approaches Iwashita as a "customer" for "a 20,000 yen meal". This story of a small escape begins with a painful and dazzling 15-year-old girl seeking her own value and a 40-year-old middle-aged man struggling between reason and desire.

Preliminary (Unknown/18 eps)
Even If I’m Not Fifteen is one of the rawest, most visceral depictions of a man’s downfall into degeneracy.

This manga is a story about two people licking each other’s wounds and bringing themselves down in the process. A very self-indulgent tale that thrives on going all the way, not holding back. Everything in this story is highly exaggerated. From the unbelievably stupid decisions that the characters continue to make, to the somewhat bleak, unhappy world that the manga depicts. This over-the-top approach is what makes this manga work, as opposed to other, edgier stories. Since, with those stories, they tend to present unbelievable situations with ...

This manga will make you uncomfortable, but that is the aspect that makes this manga great in my opinion. It sheds light into a rare glimpse of Japanese society in a very real, depressing perspective. Many others have also confronted so and so problems as well, but it is hard to take most seriously. Most stories have a black and white setting with a defined good & bad, but this manga is set up in a way where we make up our own decision. This story reflects reality more because it is in a grey area and everything is more complex and we don't know ...

Mixed Feelings
If you're gonna write a story involving such delicate topics, you 1) better make it short 2) make the art worth the experience, right? It did what it had to do - not without a serious blow to the rather good day I was having though. Everything that you're praying doesn't happen, happens. But everything that you wish would happen to the narrator, ALSO happens. Do with that what you will.

Things I Liked:
Lively Art Style
Clear and Appropriate Message
Great Balancing Act In Terms of Humor

Things I Disliked:
Chaotic and Somewhat Absurd Climax
Some REALLY Uncomfortable Scenes
Ultimately Irredeemable MC
