This is a very short story of a single event in Akiyama's past. It's best read at any time later than chapter 29 of Liar game and after the first Roots of A manga. The story is very short and relatively predictable but it still has some nice details to it. The story elaborates where Akiyama's stance on doubting people comes from and is a nice view that adds a bit to his character. Akiyama is the most important character but the supporting characters were all okay. Overall this is a nice story to read if you like Akiyama. It's not significant but it addsa bit to his background nonetheless.
