I’m a fan of Sakumo Okada‘s work. I enjoyed both Mazarian and Oni Shine. This book is my favorite of his titles. I really enjoyed the setting of 1970’s Japan and all the different games the children of that era played. Unfortunately like his other series, this one has already ended quickly. I really hope Okada will someday find a series that brings him continuing success because I’d love to read it and I don’t want him to disappear from the manga industry.
