I really randomly found this manga and it definitely was a memorable one.
On the surface it looks really simple and short having only 16 chapters but it actually has a multi layered and complex story involving abuse, bullying and death.
I will definitely say that when I started reading this, I had thought that things will turn out the usual way but I was pleasantly surprised when it actually exceeded my expectations. Any work involving time travel has the chance to be either a hit or miss and it's really easy to mess it up but Takopi's Original sin is one which perfectly concludes its own ... premise within the short amount of chapters.
This could have easily been dragged out but the author chose to finish it rather quickly and wrapped it up in a nice package.
The art is weirdly beautiful too, like its not the best obviously but it has a charm to it.

Just the fact that this manga compelled me to write a review speaks about the quality showcased here.
I'll recommend this to anyone who likes dark stuff or stories with melancholic vibes.
The cherry on the top is the manga's message, Its simple and clear cut but actually really powerful and one we often forget while indulging in our day-to-day lives.
This was definitely one of the better short manga I've read. Deserves the rating it has 100%.

Thanks for reading!

Another bullying and abusing manga that reveals the true nature of humans when they get pushed to the edge , the story at some point didn't make any sense but after few chapters we got it and honestly I've no clue why the author tried to complicate it like that , well his plot twist didn't impact me that much for like I said we didn't get what's going on however this manga gives me mixed feelings like I hated all characters and I felt bad for em at same time , I guess the story not recommended to everyone it's a bit dark so ... give it a chance when you feel you ready for it .

Meh. The main plot of this story starts with technology from a race so advanced that they see time travel as trivial being destroyed by liquid. I say in reviews often that having a perfect story is bare minimum. Aside from that it's an okay manga. It's sad? The ending will make your heart go fuwafuwa. It's similar to "In the Gardens of Gehenna" where the plot essentially revolves around children from broken homes trying to coexist and failing to. Aside from that, the chemistry between the characters is just okay, I guess? Tragic manga try more to pull on your heart strings and make ... you feel bad for the characters than anything else. The art lends itself to that purpose and it does a great job at it. Once you get past that core gimick, everything else, from the logic underpining the story, to the characters, to the worldbuilding, to the chemistry between the characters, etc, is just mediocre. Kuze, Marina, and Azuma essentially have the same personality but with different circumstances. It's something manga in this genre in general struggle very hard to do.

If you want to feel sad, this manga is for you, otherwise it's just bad. 3/10.

The only reason I'm not rating it lower is because the art lends itself to the narrative really well. The art in "The summer Hikaru died" is much better and a similar style but this manga's art is nothing to scoff at.
