Fumikiri Jikan is one of those mangas that’s kind of hard to describe. It’s all set around railroad crossings, which sounds super boring at first, but actually ends up being a surprisingly relaxing backdrop for little stories about random people waiting for trains. That said, the manga is sometimes it’s sweet or melancholic, sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it just gets weird or even creepy. A lot of chapters start off wholesome but then ruin the mood with a gross punchline or awkward fanservice. It also repeats itself a lot, so after a while you can kind of predict how things will go. That being said, Ifeel that there are more good moments than bad ones and honestly that's all I need.

The art is nice though—especially the detailed backgrounds of real Tokyo crossings. Later volumes get a bit inconsistent, but overall it’s pleasant to look at.

Overall, Fumikiri Jikan is all over the place. Some chapters will make you smile, some might make you roll your eyes, and others just feel uncomfortable. Still, despite the flaws, I found it kind of a relaxing read. Not amazing, not terrible, just its own weird little thing.
