*Minor spoilers ahead*
'My Capricorn friend' is a story about guiltiness and freedom of choice. It is not by far one of the best one-volume mangas I have read, but it isn't so bad as to not give it a try.
Since the synopsis in mal is so brief I'm gonna explain a little bit more about the plot: the mc, Yuya Matsuda is really aware that school bullying surrounds him. But since he has neither the role of the bully or the victim, he is unable to step in that world or even try to do something to improve the situations he witnesses at school.

Edit: I wrote this immediately after I read the manga so I am writing this disclaimer to say that I have tempered my opinion a little, but not too much. I'm not sure if this is the best work of fiction ever, but I think it's one of the best manga I've read and was genuinely a flawless reading experience.
Now for the review. I just finished this about ~90 seconds ago and I can already tell you that this is the best manga I have ever read, and maybe the best work in any medium. This story is utterly concise, simple, and beautiful. Each character, place, person, ...

Had to read this over several months because of the slow chapter translations, but I didn't mind one bit rereading it from the start over and over again. It's a really nice mystery story and surprisingly anti-climatic, but that's also part of the charm. For only seven chapters, the characters felt very fleshed out and complex, just like real people, and their choices and motivations were understandable. The art and pacing of the story is also very beautiful and well done. It's a great manga, sadly only one volume long, but since it's also pretty short it won't harm to give it a try, so

I'm here to write a review that I have been putting off for more than two months.
Yagiza no Yuujin, or "My Capricorn Friend", which I call "Capricorn" when I aggressively recommend it to my friends, is a story about a mystery, a mystical veranda and a bloody baseball bat. It's also a story about scapegoats, escaped goats, and regret. Let me start by saying that I desperately read this manga. I remember consuming the whole volume, stopping only when the story did. I then went on with my day, went to sleep, and read the whole thing again the next day. We start by hearing about ...

Even tho it was way too short for 7 chapters to expand a story like this, it really does make you hold tight to your seat cause there is quite a sprinkle of intensity and chilliness involved here! I mean it's about two teens running away together because one of them killed their bullies. You'll also ask yourself questions on why this event happened among many others because literally, one of the boys is collecting news articles from different years. Yeah I honestly wonder why it aligns with what's happening, as well as the supernatural wind !
I wouldn't call this the best psychological slice of ...

tl;dr: A short manga with a pretty generic take on bullying with a reasonably well told mystery attached to it.
This manga has two major facets, both of which are decent, but both of which also feel like they’re somewhat lacking. In a very broad sense, the manga is about the protagonist, Matsuda, feeling a sense of guilt after something terrible happens which he feels is a result of him merely looking away from bullying that was occurring around him. At this point he feels a responsibility to help the victim of bullying, Wakatsuki, but it’s already too late and Matsuda needs to deal with that. ... |
