not simple

A manga about the unlucky life of a man named Ian.

I love Natsume Ono’s work but I was surprised with the somber tone of this book. It follows the life and death of Ian, a man who’s very existence was never really wanted. The story starts with his end and then begins with his childhood. The complex circumstances that fill Ian’s life lead to tragedy but Ono is still able to insert moments of strong relationships.

A sad but good tale. It’s available in English from VIZ media.
