Bokutachi ga Yarimashita

A manga about a group of friends who accidentally set off a large explosion that kills a group of thugs they were trying to prank.

We covered this in a triple dip episode last year.

This series is a very slow burn. You spend the whole first volume just following the main guys goofing around and then getting targeted by these punk. Things really start rolling in the aftermath of the explosion where each guy deals with the guilt of what they’ve done in different ways. Watching them struggle with themselves and each other while avoiding the watchful eyes of a detective made for a really thrilling story. Everything ramps up to a final conclusion that is one of the best endings I’ve read for a series like this.

I’d personally love to see this brought over by Kodansha but given the subject matter it might be impossible. Still worth checking out in my opinion.
