Personal Opinion
I picked this one up on a whim in a bookstore without really knowing anything about it and was surprised to find out that it is a oneshot by the same author as Chainsawman. The story is a lot more grounded compared to that manga, but it nonetheless has an art style that I have never quite seen in a manga before. It basically uses 4-koma format but with only one column per page so you get these wide frames that allow for some very unique perspectives. From a story point of view it is, as one can probably gather from the synopsis, quite a sad story.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Unique style/framing
- Oneshot (we can finish it in one go!)
- Because of it being a Oneshot the pacing is quite fast
Cons
- No furigana
