The Migratory Forest – A Collection of Walks

[MangaDex]

 

[totallynotmike]

Pedophile, cheated on girlfriend, an older gentleman obsessed with drowning victim's hand, girl in love with her female classmate, man that can't stand body heat of other human beings, a high school student having illicit relationship with her teacher, and woman teaching her ex's wife baking class all walked into a bar and...

...there's no punchline. You won't find any sunshine or smiles here, but surprisingly enough, there isn't that much darkness either - even lolicon seems like a decent enough person (ie it is strongly implied that he never acted out his sexual preference).

All in all, it's an okay slice of life collection of interlinked stories, filled with (and in lower resolution approach, connected by) themes and imageries of forests (sometimes literal, sometimes contextual, sometimes meta-thematical ; not always that much relevant) and weird, occasionally questionable people. Both art style and general ambiance of this somewhat remind me of Ninomiya Hikaru works, but on notably lower-tier level (despite Haibara Yaku being an accomplished artist in her own right).

Something to pass time - if you decide to read it, you probably won't consider the effort wasted, but also most likely will never go back to it.
