Yes, it's a shity society indeed.

 

[AlterArsene]

I hate that we live in a society

Edit: funny how some people can't take a joke

 

[AlterArsene]

Somebody give this man a hug

Spoiler

The daughter's panel

It feels like a Tyson punch with a teddy bear glove

 

[Noldalag]

Im not crying over here. Really tho sick story so far

 

[Look4Diversion]

Man.

So I see he had a cell phone and a photo album by his bed, but what was the slim black shape next to the album? Something related to their funeral? [Edit] Consensus says it's his police badge.

 

[Hicleric]

Major Pink Panther vibes in the front half

...and then the usual introspective gut punch. The cop has the right of it, though. You can either be swallowed up by the pain or funnel it into a better tomorrow

...I really hope nothing bad happens to him

I love how there are different, even contrasting, POVs and people still try to listen and be respectful.

His police badge. Idk what this is with this author, he doesn't write anything that out original or really different, but somehow, using the things that were seen in other stories, he creates something magical, maybe it's his art? Beats me. But even after 5 tragic stories in flashbacks, he still can pull strings to touch emotions.

Thanks mangaka and translation team!

Emotions conveyed through visuals and supplemented with proper conversation without hammy exposition. I love this author so much.

It doesn't necessarily have to be new and unique to be good. Just well written and executed. I'm just amazed that it's this consistently well written and executed. I can't believe Cop-san became a real character, but then again so did Serpo...

I know exactly where the story is going. It should feel like an overused trope. 'I don't want to destroy the world, I want to save it'. It's been done to death.
But the approach to it is so grounded and well done that I can't even be upset.

I've almost even forgiven the author for constantly trying to hook our gorl up with every guy she meets. almost.

Id love a cop and delinquent manga

 

[unyin]

Based cop. It takes a bit of empathy and caring to make a positive difference, he gets it.

I'd say its competency. You don't need to reinvent the wheel to write a good book.
The whole thing is simple, like you said it's not anything new or really original, but everything is builds up well and is actually really respectful and insightful to the real life parallels.
Characters also have feelings, goals and philosophies and don't exist 100% to move the plot forward.
We're fed so much low effort isekai and romcom slop that we forgot what a competent story feels like...

 

[Lustrist]

havent respected a cop this much since josukes granddad

 

[Gunfort]

Man what a way to start my day

 

[Erricane]

It takes one bad day to ruin someone's entire life. But it takes a stronger will to overcome one bad day.
