This is a brilliant manga. Story, art, writing, everything is done really well.
The titular character, Reiri, grows and develops greatly throughout the unfolding events, slowly changing her view on existence and life, and despite the bitter sweet ending - it fits her growth, and mirrors her origins well.
Difficult to put down, beautifully illustrated, and masterfully paced - Reiri is evidently a work of great skill and effort.
Art - Beautiful and refined. A blend of realistic and stylized, with aspects of it feeling gritty and tangible, at times horrifying, and others feeling light and distilled to the essence, it's one of the prettier mangas out there.
