Synopsis

In a surreal world of abundant wonders, Gil is a workshop town specialized in mechanical craftsmanship, boasting the largest population in the land of Piril. People lead simple lives with little to no advancement in technology, worshipping Marie, a mechanical Goddess who keeps vigil of Piril from the sky.

Daughter of the top mechanical artisan of Gil, Pipi is a cheerful and popular young girl. She likes her childhood friend, Kai, who has an extraordinary ability to hear sounds inaudible to the human ear. He is the only one in town who can listen to Marie's "music." The soothing sounds that come from her are said to retain the peace and harmony of the land. Kai's affection for Marie deepens as he continues to experience these sounds and see visions of himself through her eyes.

Exploring the fantasy world of Kai and Pipi, Marie no Kanaderu Ongaku tackles concepts of religion, technology, and what it truly means to be happy.

It’s more of a cry for help than it is applicable to real life, I guess, but it’s detached from reality for a reason—heavy stuff can hard to think about and confront directly. In the end, it was easier for him to continue his escape with fallacious portrayals of human nature than it was to make any constructive ...

Let's get the good out of the way first here. The art is incredible and very creative here. It's not to be understated how wonderful it is and how easy it is to immerse yourself into the world solely off of the art alone. Without a doubt the best part of the manga is its artwork and visual aspects. Props should also be given to this manga when it comes to the general idea and concept of the story itself. Wouldn't get into it in order to avoid spoilers, but the concepts for this story could have worked if it wasn't for one thing...

I disagree with most of the fans of this.

Do I like it?

The art style felt way too shoujo which distracted me from what could have been very good looking artwork
The story took too long to go anywhere, half of the entire thing and even then it wasnt satisfying considering I had to slough through half slice of nothing happening.
