A manga about a young man living with his grandfather in Iceland who uses psychometric powers to do odd jobs.
The artwork is quite good and the character designs remind me of CLAMP: Lots of long limbs and pretty faces.
The manga initially focuses on the problems revolving around the protagonist’s younger brother but by the 2nd volume they drop the mystery in lieu of introducing Iceland’s scenic locations. It’s very strange and I wonder if they’ll get back to the mystery.
The setting of Iceland makes this manga unique so I’ll keep reading it.
Available from Vertical Comics.
