What?! There's no review for this manga?! Then I'll try and write one (spoiler free, btw), because it was really enjoyable :).

This is a brief mystery manga that continued to have me thinking until the end. I personally wasn't 100% satisfied with the ending, but it made sense. Following Ryota Sakamaki, a mangaka, on his quest to find the truth within the truth was engaging, and the way clues were spread into the story and later revealed was awesome. This mystery series only revolves around one mystery in a satisfying way. I wish a couple of the plot pieces were fleshed out more, but overall ... it was really good.

The artwork was incredible. It was cool to be reading a manga where the main character, Ryota Sakamaki, is a mangaka, and the artwork for his manga was as engaging as the overall art for the series. Some of the art, like the character art, might be viewed as too simplified, but I see it as a perfect fit for the series. The backgrounds had a good amount of detail.

In terms of characters, the main focal characters are well-fleshed out, at least for what is needed for the series to work, but I still wish a few other characters were fleshed out more or tangled into the story more. Some secondary characters that appeared could have either appeared more or in others ways in order to have the story make more sense or flow better.

Enjoyment for the series was a 9! It was a fun read that made me want to keep reading at the end of every chapter. The mangaka kept me hooked on the series.

Overall, I gave this series an 8. Hopefully this review is helpful to you!

I see no one else has written a review for this manga yet, so I will! No better way to write my first review!

Story:
The way this manga works is that the reader goes through different characters' lives and what happens to them. It feels episodic in the way that everything is loosely connected, and that any chapter can stand alone as very short stories. The beginning is a bit confusing because you don't know the characters' names yet, but it's alright. The ending was abrupt and didn't feel conclusive enough to be an ending. I wish there was a more conclusive ending or more chapters, ... but it is a short series so I guess it makes sense to end it that way.

Art:
The art was nice. It felt like a simple art style, but in a good way. It was pleasing to look at.

Character:
The characters were interesting. Throughout the manga you get to peer into the minds/viewpoints of several different characters. The main characters are very likeable.

Enjoyment:
I really enjoyed it. I picked it up on a whim, but was glad I did. It's a very easy and quick read.

Overall, I rate it an 8/10
