"In the biology prep room of the old school building, which no longer serves its original purpose, one rarely hears human breathing." There is a level of absurdity, yet extremely human in nature (after slight pause), that Ishiko-sensei's manga creates. I know you want to die, so I will make waking up alive tomorrow worth it. I know you are not okay, and it is festering. I know that I love you, but I don't deserve it. I know that you are dead, but I can't accept it. It's overwhelming, how much is stuffed inside of this short work, but it made me think enough towrite this review. To be left in contemplation is a wonderful feeling, do you know? I am not entirely sure I am picking apart this manga in the right way, but it meant something to me. I suppose it can, or will, mean something entirely different to you. You may read it and not even like it, and that's alright.

Ishiko-sensei's art is unreputably beautiful and unique. There is nothing incredibly sprawling or languid, and is simple at first glance, but it certainly envokes. I hope you can understand what I am trying to mean.

A beautiful boy, a dumb lump of muscle, an attentive boyfriend, a death-obsessed lover, a talking dog, a mysterious senpai, and a petting zoo. A conglomerate of characters and emotions, led by that philosophical talking dog.

Shall we keep living, because our time is short? Show me your true self and make it just.
