The second part of this excellent novel, which concludes the tale of the 48 year old man who finds himself in his 14 year old body. The details of the small Japanese town are exquisite. There is a beach vacation chapter which really evokes the feeling of the beach. Things are resolved, but not quite (like real life). A good tale and an excellent graphic novel.
Like Volume 1, this is beautifully drawn and very poignant manga. It is a very tender tale about how one would see their childhood differently if it were viewed through adult eyes. I found the end a little puzzling and abrupt, but I suppose this is a fitting end to such a mysterious tale.
Beautiful. But the father character is selfish, and it phazes me how he is not judged.
