To read the story, you first have to get that this is a fucked up story and pretty much the embodiment of depressing messed up shit.

The story is pretty unique and smooth flowing, but it'll definitely make you doubt your ratings on this manga. Even so, I'd still have to say that this is one of Nakamura-sensei's best works. The art is superb as usual; expressions are able to bring the word bubbles into a whole other level of deepness.

Character wise, I, myself, hated them, mostly because I thought they were stupid, but thats just me. Although at the end Nakamura does explain where ... they were inspired from so it makes sense.

Overall, the story is great. It's definitely not a simple read and does convey deeper thoughts. So dont be quick to judge and just take in the ending.

I wonder why there isn't any review for this one yet.

Well.

I love the art. She always brings a totally different experience of art to her manga, and I adore that. Some people may be put off by it at their first read, but after you get used to it, the beauty shows.

The storytelling is also a strong point. Fluid. This is quite a depressing manga, and the mood was set right from the very beginning. Since this is one of her later works, improvement is pretty notable compared to, say, Copernicus no Kokyuu (this one's still good nonetheless.) Pretty hard to describe in words, ... but in Double Mints you can see that she rolls the story rather than symbolizing it.

This is a deliciously dark read. Highly recommended. I reread this twice. Other than for understanding the story deeper, there's something from this manga that lures you in. Perhaps it's the elegance.
