Boku no Mei, in the essence, is a story about trying to cherish life, to live up to a hundred, to see your beloved niece grow up. However the storytelling was rushed, the pacing is terrible. It's a half-baked manga, as a reader I am not really sure where the author is going with this one. The art style... I love Natsume Ono's artwork so I actually have a predilection to "flowy" art style like this Boku no Mei. But coupled with a shoddy storytelling, there's nothing much to adore in this book. It's a short manga anyway, so you can read this for the hell ofit.
