Of course this is by Miaki, he loves his depressing ideas. I've read Three Days of Happiness and Your Story (the novels) prior to reading this one so it didn't surprise me to find out(in the middle of reading) it's another of his works bc it oozes the same atmosphere. While not for everyone, I can't help but like his writing.
Stellar artwork by Loundraw, really fits with the air; the cover was the sole reason I started this.
