It has finally arrived in Italy with a great edition, the post-apocalyptic manga in which the city of Tokyo is brought to its knees by an 8.1 earthquake, leaving a massive number of displaced people and taking the lives of 100,000 of them. Let's talk about the characters: Jin is a young office worker, a former delinquent, who feels inadequate and incapable of making courageous and impulsive decisions, only out of fear. Throughout the characters: Jin matures a lot, managing to save Okano and bringing out the altruism and confidence he has always kept inside. Through 51 small acts, he saves the girl, whom he was never ableto help during their middle school years, and after 5 years, he gets the chance to live a life with her.

Okano: She is a sweet, kind girl who has found her path in gothic rock music after years of suffering violence.
Through this tragedy, she, like Jin, finds an inner strength to react and gain the trust she needed to grow and mature.

I found this work really complete and interesting. We have many characters, each of whom brings a different color to this manga thanks to solid and diverse characterizations.
We have the sunny musician, who, after watching his girlfriend die, commits suicide; a cult that only wants to take control with lies; a group of vigilantes trying to counter the thugs who are after the girls, who in turn unite to defend themselves from the more primitive and violent men. And we also have a rock singer, who Okano considered a legend, acting like a star and treating everyone poorly, a woman about to give birth, a clumsy boy who helps the women, a gal who, despite appearances, considers herself one of the most humane and least snobbish, and finally, a little girl who has lost her mother.

Drama, romance, psychology, and even philosophy. This manga shines with themes such as ethics (some do good, others do not), the transience of life (just one earthquake and countless lives are lost), the sense of sacrifice (the vigilantes or Jin himself), and humanity (if in normal life people are selfish or distant, in such a situation they degenerate and reveal who they really are, like the men who rape young girls).

A manga that is absolutely unmissable for the sheer number of concepts and themes present, and the beautiful personal growth of the two protagonists.
