Having only 11 chapters translated so far it seems to be a stretch to say that one could give a proper review of the story. However the basic of it is as follows: a 17 year old Japanese kid on Iceland can talk to cars and does detective stuff.
While that might not seem like the most interesting or mature premise it has led to a wonderful first 11 chapters. The mystery aspect of this manga is very well written and compliments the incredible artwork very well. The author choosing Iceland as the manga’s setting is also a perfect match for her art.

This manga easily could've been a 10/10 for me, the gorgeous scenery, the lovable whimsical characters, the quaint nature of it all. But it just has this persistent issue of meandering and unfocused writing, it flip-flops between the mc taking up odd-jobs and living his life in Iceland, and this murder mystery with his little brother. Now it's a half-baked combination of both. The mystery does not even have the majority of the focus, but because it's presented like the central conflict, it demands all attention and detracts from the other stuff she seems to enjoy drawing and writing more.
Regardless, I personally enjoyed this manga, ...

Not too much going on but it keeps you hook up and wanting to know more. Slice of life, very unique story which evolved around our meat-crazed MC with his power to communicate with machines which he used to solve his inquiries in Iceland the country. MC lost his family except his little brother and decided to move to Iceland to live a free life where he can roam around in his Jeep (gift from grandpa). Art 8/10 Story 9.5/10 Character 8/10 (I am sure we have not seen the real sides of the characters)

This manga reads like a live-action drama-adventure-mystery show. I feel like I’m in Iceland reading it and love the atmospheric nature of it with the little tidbits of Icelandic “lore” (language, culture, history, and geography) and how the characters travel between different popular tourism spots throughout the story. I learned a lot and it has gotten me a lot more interested in visiting the island country. It really does feel like lived experience from the author, who mentions in the author note of the first volume that she went there before writing the manga. The art is beautiful and matches the vibe really well. Also,

To be honest, the first chapter of the manga was rather confusing for someone who didn't read the synopsis.
The story take place on Iceland where our main protagonist Miyama, Kei a 17 year old freelance detective who tries to live a life on Iceland while many people know him as a very good detective who can solve many problems. Kei himself thinks that he is just another normal detective you could find anywhere everywhere. Keeps thinking like that when you can read mechanical object minds like it was part of everyday life. Yes not only car, he can read every object mind that has ... |
