read a tweet on father's day recommending this manga for people with broken home, im not exactly a 'broken home' kid nor have daddy complex (i have the opposite, i know... mom... lol) but this manga really comforts me. the feeling of '1 second before your tears starts coming out' lingers on me for hours after reading this manga. i'm a big fan of the art, watched tekkonkinkreet too, i like it very much. i definitely can relate to some of the kids' stories. it's really amazing how the mangaka can depicts such details into the character stories. i definitely will reread this.
