Jiro Taniguchi did an amazing job with the opening chapter. The interior monologue of the main character did an amazing job to both establish the setting and to provide good characterization for the protagonist.

I admire this art quite a lot, the slight shading is consistent and adds a touch of professionalism imo. And especially the detail put into backgrounds, gonna be a great read

I might take some time to get used to this artstyle but the premise is very interesting. Here's hoping the time-skip is explained and not left out like in the case with Erased.

The perfect first chapter (especially for a short story).

4/5

Here's hoping the time-skip is explained .

It seems like the typical triggering "fantasy/imaginary" element in stories. It will obviously be left at that and never be a big concern.

On a lighter note, I really do feel pity for this Mc. He was 48 with a nice wife and daughter and a stable job. Just when he was reaching his retirement age and achieve freedom from all the rat race, he gets banged hard! Must have committed a lot of sins for the kamisama to throw him at the starting line again.

Page 12: I am as old as she was when she died. It was 20 years ago, mother was 48.
Page 20: This year, it's gonna be 25 years since she died...

A blunder in the translation or in the source material?
