It's shocking to me there isn't any review for this side story, and despite as of now I can't seem to find the last chapters translated anywhere I can still say it was worth the ride and damn it was interesting. The first half starts like we fans of steins;gate already know, but from there it adds more and more than I could have ever asked for.

It was a sad and painful read, but it was also that it made it so beautiful, it brings more depth and insight to Kurisu's character at a critical point on the story. And I dare you all not ... feel the introspective journey this particular little piece of the story presents! As for myself reaching the moment of "the sprint", I simply couldn't hold it anymore and ended up sobbing.

That's just how good it is, a must read for any real fan of the series.

When I started reading this manga, I expected a nice, light story of the events following the creation of the phonewave told from Kurisu's perspective, but I was utterly wrong. After the first few chapters, this manga evolves into an almost entirely new story, adding a lot more depth to Kurisu's character and her past. We also see more of her relationships with characters in ways never explored in the original Steins;Gate and an unexpected side to someone close to Kurisu, giving us a whole new perspective. And the best part? It's all canon. If you're a Steins;Gate enjoyer, this is a must-read. It may ... surprise you, as it did me.
