First of all: artwork is absolutely sunning.

Premise is quite honest. And i thought this could be turned into anything. But then I read after word saying

Spoiler

this will turn in to scifi. So i have no dam clue where this might head.

Im gonna follow this with interest.

I would say the dialogue was a little bit hard to follow, but I think I get the gist of it.

Otherwise, artwork is appealing, potential is promising and starry nights are inspiring.

 

[happy_sqft]

[hollhoz]

Manga so Great, it got translated BY THE CREATOR

 

[Djlethal]

Interesting.

 

[biggulp]

while the ML translation is ok, someone with translation/proofreading/copyright capability can help clean it up.

I love the homage to satoshi kon's perfect blue storyboard book https://imgchest.com/p/6eyr5pdme7p

 

[BakedBanana]

The art is very nice.

 

[mudkipslaps]

Very much reminds me of Dedede, a work the author likely assisted on. I love the art style, and am very interested in where it goes next. Purchased volume 1 on bookwalker, bc shipping to america is expensive. Looking forward to one day being able to buy in english.

 

[Manko-sensei]

So... it's a story about nothing happening?

 

[Xtwqnzee]

Yo in panel nine.. is that eat it up?

 

[anuar_kumadesu]

Come to read because the author itself post this manga on X,man despite it being pirate but the author seem chill about it with the translation..well im gonna read it

 

[TornadoTats]

I will support this manga. The manga has good quality artwork. Can’t wait for the story to develop further.

The mangaka got in trouble for translating his series on Twitter so an English audience can find his work... I wouldn't blame the publishers, since Akiyama-sensei's unapproved translation probably made officially licensing the series in the future more difficult.

Still, the mangaka only had good intentions. We all want to read manga, after all. Akiyama-sensei knew this, and tried to help his series find the people who would enjoy it.

Come on, everyone, do your thing. Support this manga through word-of-mouth, send him kind messages on Twitter, buy the volume on Amazon; stuff like that. It's rare that mangaka try to reach a global audience; when that happens, we should encourage it.

Here is Akiyama-sensei's message on Twitter:

I was forced to delete the content regarding “that matter.”

I sincerely apologize to everyone who supported me.

I draw manga for a Japanese publisher. My work belongs to me. Yet I cannot freely handle my own creations.

And sometimes, even this account...

The number of overseas manga fans may not grow any further. Still, I'm glad I got to meet all of you.

I always pour my all into the manga right in front of me. Other issues are insignificant to me.

Well then, I'm off to draw a masterpiece.

Genuinely interesting premise and that last art panel might be a reference to perfect blue lol

Hoping the best for the author, knowing that he's Inio Asano assistant give me high hopes for his future 🩷
