I have NEVER read or seen a manga like this. You can comprehend the beginning pretty well but as you move along, in my opinion, it's a very bizarre story of cause and effect. By page 13, we see an extremely complex happening all at once thus the cause and effect begins. Then after that I honestly have no idea what starts happening lmao. But I continued because it's only 16 pages long and the art itself kept me going. It is outstanding. The 3D concept is out of this world. I have never seen a manga artist like Shintaro Kago take manga to the next level like he does. So that's why it really disappoints/maddens me to see people rate this manga, including his other works, so low because "there's nothing really to it," but really there is SOOOOOOOOO much to this manga; that is why I stress to future readers you MUST approach Kasutoro Shiki with a completely open and different mind. Just because there is no obvious plot line, can't we appreciate a manga solely for it's art if it's done just as perfectly as Kasutoro Shiki's was????
