What a bizarre little series. This author clearly has a lot to say about a lot of things. There are a lot of observations about westernization, rock and roll, generational divides, work culture and culture in general in the more gag-driven parts.
But, as it develops, I find it's also undeniably a story that has a lot of observations about loss, grieving and letting go of not only people, but ideals. And it`s all delivered in the stupidest (complimentary) manner possible.
It is a doozy of a manga that, while I didn't think was particularly funny, I did find it very charming and entertaining to read.
Had a lot to say and while I don't find myself agreeing or being moved by what it ends up saying sometimes, it still felt enjoyable. Also kinda fucked up, but... you know, Inio Asano is who he is.
