Death penalty is a theme thaat seems to be loved by Hollywood in the late 90s, seeing the amount of movies about it that were produced and realesed, and specially the ones that were to the Oscars and won some. The trend dissappear quickly in the next decade. In anime, despìte death penalty exists in Japan, still feels like a taboo, something that authors didn't want to write about. and even seinen titles seems to help to give a treatment of this theme. This short manga dares to do it. Doesn't want to make you think if it's wrong or right, instead, tells a love story. Not the love story of two teenagers who fall in love in high school, something that many readers has already get sick and tired. The love story of a guy in death row and a suicide ex-pianist who survived rape. It writes about edgy mature themes, but the story doesn't have any shock value. Everything is beautiful, and also painfully realistic. You'll never found anything over the top, the author doesn't need to exagerate the situations to make you feel the same as the characters and empathysize with them. The story is really sad, specially the last chapter. If you want to enjoy mature drama, and also a manga you won't believe it hasn't yet an anime adaptation, this is for you.
