Nov 22, 2022This volume does a lot of building, with lots of character building, and relationship building between Ellis and Al. It also introduces racial profiling in policing as Al is targeted not just for the coincidences of being around the Mayor on his final day. There are many wordless panels where Al is going about his day or shopping for food. Using this style within a mystery novel creates a sense of tension, as if the audience perspective is really the killer's, and he's following Al through his daily life. The art continues to be a high point of this story with its blend of traditional manga style and western illustrations. This is a great investment for established manga fans, and murder-mystery fans looking for an entry-point to manga. Read Full Review

Sep 11, 2022Theres sadly only one more volume to go (January 2023) in this well-written and stylishly drawn mystery but I hope that Yen Press will bring us more from this gifted mangaka. Shima Shinya is definitely a talent to watch! Read Full Review
