A very human manga...
Well when I say human, it is exactly how it sounds. The characters and setting is quite realistic.
But that would be a bad start to review, wouldn't it? Let's start this review shall we?
Story:
It revolves around a 27 year old man named Satoru. A struggling mangaka, unable to get in touch with his own emotions and past. Because of this he is quite reclusive, and quiet. He has had a frequency of getting sent back a few minutes in time whenever something "bad" is going to happen, he is consent with this and continues his life. Until a brutal murder ... is committed on his mother, he is forced into harsh circumstances by this (which I will not spoil, and which is for you to unravel).
It can be a bit cheesy and a bit stupid sometimes for a mystery drama, but all in all the story stays consistent and interesting for the target audience.
Story: 8/10

Art:
The art is good. It is nothing to special though. But it has a nice style to it.
The panel cuts are good. But nothing too special though, even though the art-style is a bit eccentric.
Art:7/10

Characters:
The manga has very realistic characters. They never feel too forced or dramatic. They feel exactly as if you'd be speaking to them in real life. When the main character speaks to his mother, it feels how a real son and mother would communicate. Same goes for the friends of the main character. Even though a specific character that shall go unnamed has a somewhat dramatic/shocking backstory it is still grounded in reality, and believable (*cough* even though a different unnamed character does have the cheesy manga backstory syndrome). The main character feels very realistic, and may have been a exaggerated version of the author, he is still an interesting character in his own right. The development of the main character is believable and somewhat rewarding. He goes from being somewhat of an edgy teen to a brave and noble person. Though because of some characters that shall remain unnamed I will have to give the characters an 8 instead of a 9
Characters: 8/10
Enjoyment:
I found it very enjoyable. It was a very thrilling ride. Though, I am entertained easily so I'm not sure if I'm the best mouth to trust.
Enjoyment: 9/10

Overall: 8/10

Everyone I hope my first review was good. Tell me if it is helpful, or not.
