While the difficult yet happy life seemed to continue forever, all hell broke loose when Masaki one day returned home from his part-time job earlier than Minami expected. (Source: ANN)

Before anyone reads this manga, you should know that the "Seinen" and "drama" category for this manga really means what it means: There is some very disturbing issues in this manga that might even make older guys flinch. Do NOT READ IF YOU DISLIKE LOLI. (and i mean even disliking it a little bit. Like, when i read this, i was feeling weird and im usually ok with Loli but, this isnt loli-comedy, this is...more disturbing).

Story: one of the reasons the story is decent is because of it's structure: at the start of the manga, the story is told directly by the main character (ikeuchi) ... in first person, as he describes the situation, and what disturbing event took place. This later shifts to become like reading a normal manga (just viewing what is happening), but shifts back and forth for a while in this manner.

The actual content of the story involves a lot more than the synopsis describes: Betrayal, Tragedy (in ikeuchi's view), despair, forgiveness, and what it means to be a family. Not just Loli (although it is one issue used, it should not be primarily focused on).

Art: The artwork for this manga is decently drawn, and all the characters look pretty cute too (like in any romance manga). If you prefer manga will decent looking characters, this manga will do.

Character: Like was mentioned before, the main character actually tells us his story from the beginning, meaning you get to see and feel what the main character feels all that more. As the story progresses, more and more is shown about ikeuchi and the other characters (each of their individual stories are told one time or another). And, they are not exactly what you may expect them to be: Minami is not the innocent little sister, kanda is not the reliable and responsibly best friend, and ikeuchi does not truly know what it means to be in a family.

Enjoyment: To be honest, in order to actually enjoy this manga, you have to suffer a little bit from it first. (there is shock content that involves loli, and you also have to read for a while in first person, most of which is about the main character's anguish and despairing situation). However, my final impression of this manga's enjoyment factor was that it was decent and unique: in the end, the characters are able to find peace with themselves.

Overall: This is a decent manga to read, it is short and it can make a huge "impact" on you. It is a good break from normal lovey-dovey romance genre manga and truly has shocking drama in it. However, this manga should not be read if you dont like having your emotions running loose or if you dont like Loli. Otherwise it is a good read.

A great manga with well-think story. Its complex plot and drama makes it a "hard" work. Despite characters, they are complete assholes, the one more mature is Minami, by disgrace; but that's the point. Drama, suspense, psychological, tragedy, family issues, readable… A non-comedy Lolicon.
Its story is deep and I consider it as excellent, very strong for anyone. Why do you react if found your little sister (child) having sex with your "best friend"? This manga have a possible scenario where nobody can does anything and treat to live with that, but time cannot returns, you can not able do something anymore; and your actions in ...

Preliminary (Unknown/10 eps)

When I read the synopsis, I immediately knew what the story was about. How it was going to go about it... was the reason why I read it.

I've used "one step in the mud after another" to describe an anti-feel good manga before

. But this time I think I'll go with 'sky diving with an elephant on top'.

Lolicon has always been a worry. Some anime/mangas distract you with comedy, fan-service, or incest -kissxsis-. Some even try to raise an ethical point.

But Mon Seul sets up the situation, and goes from there. It doesn't try to convince you of anything. It just shows you ...
