Tsurebito is a beautiful story, and there's nothing quite like it. Its concept might not be original, but it was carried out superbly. I can't really think of any stories I've read that is similar to this one. For such a short manga, it grips at my heart multiple times, and with the exciting story telling, I wish the manga never ends. However, it was best that it is only this short. Sure, there are questions unanswered, and the world in this manga can be expanded much more and used to create multiple stories. But I think it is because of this length that it wasable to wrap up the story nicely and really seared its message into the reader's mind.

Besides the story, the mind-blowing composition and detailed background art are its selling point. You've got to read this manga, even if it's only for the art.
