This manga didn't hook me right away. Probably because I found the characters hard to relate with. Also, this manga seemed to be eerily reflective of our world.

The scenarios and (moral) messages are predictable. The premise had (some) potential but it was done blandly. The art style is nice, nothing special. I'll still finish this, who knows maybe it gets ... |
