Good Manga

by conan557

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I can't believe that what prevented me from reading this manga was the previous comments here and on the myanimelist anime adaption. Those comments degraded this masterpiece and made me not want to read it. This series is a good one that is surprisingly heartwarming in a way. And if there is one lesson that I learn, If a series is on top and has bad reviews, read it anyway.

Perfect

by YuriTachikawa

EVERYTHING was perfect. Characters, story, progression, art, pacing and the ending. It balances the tension pretty well and the thought process of children in situations like these are very realistic. I have to agree with the other comments though, this has not much action, drama or mystery, so don't go reading expecting that and it will be an enjoyable read.

thrilling, exciting and emotional

by red-eyed-slayer

Normally when I see thrillers, i tend to think they just loop around the story with no character development or strong plot progression such as Monster, but boku dake ga inai machi used the theme of friendship in not so melodramatic style but to combine the thrilling elements of the series with strong contrast of that element to give a powerful sense of hope and emotion.

A must recommend series that only last 8 volumes and has beautiful and good amount of character development that succeeds not only due to the character backstory but the character interaction with well written dialogue that doesn't feel awkward. Very worthy of its praise

Perhaps the best manga yet made

by Discriminating Dom

Rating: N/A

Mystery, drama, humor, heart. A beautiful and complex tale that can only be written by an author of intelligence who believes in his work, with masterful illustration and direction that really shows off the power of manga as a visual medium. From start to finish, the reader can feel that the story was planned and refined. The plot's construction and presentation make it eminently re-readable, and the second pass shows how much work was put into the details of foreshadowing. There are a thousand things to gush about, but to list just a few aspects of what the author managed to pull off...

Writing about a writer without a drop of fan-service or self-pity.
Time travel that services characters and story, and not the other way around.
Children that are written as children, and not micro-adults.
Mature, earned, filial love.

How many of the innumerable hacks who get anime adaptations would fall flat on their faces trying to pull off even one of these in a serious manga? How much time and effort goes into derivative garbage manga when works like this exist?

Anyway, pure, optimistic brilliance. 10/10

Pretty good!

by Redyred

Rating: 8.3 / 10.0

I'd have to say it was quite good, not amazingly good but just good.

PROS

likable main character
the characters were not bad.
the story plot was interesting

CONS

kind of predictable.

Almost everyone could tell it was the teacher I mean it was just too obvious! Either they showed him too much which made us suspect him or maybe he was just too nice to the main character.

got a bit boring towards the end

It was pretty good but if you love mystery genre, you might not enjoy this because it's kind of predictable....

Good.

This is a neat crime mystery with a timeskip component. The first part in particular (until and including when the culprit is revealed, i.e. c1-32) is excellent.

The story overall remains good, though not amazing. In particular, it's somewhat marred by a) the action part of the ending feeling rather weak to me, and b) the timeskip ability never receiving an explanation or justification.

Suspenseful but at times painful to read

by cecropiamoth

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

This is so amazingly close to the reality of how real people behave in tough situations that I can't get over it. The emotional realism makes the suspense expertly set up by the story all the more believable and intense. From what I've read so far (through chapter 9), I think maybe its emotions will be what will make this manga great. I think many tears and fears are coming down the line, so much so that I almost am afraid to read more. Stories can actually do that to people when they're this good!

Story is quite short, but overall a very nice read for fans of crime and psychological manga

by zanderax

Erased is a very psychological manga where story moves forward mainly through characters' inner thought, thus is able to explore different emotions amid the tragic premise.and along its progress.
Time loop is used, without much explanation and could be considered a miracle to happen upon the protagonist, as a means for him to repair his past.

The story, in my point of view, could be longer to explore the aftermath, mainly the romance for our protagonist (because I'm a sucker for romance in manga) and how he moves on from everything, his later interaction with his friends, etc.

Character development is excellent. We all get to know the background and motives of almost all characters. Despite the supernatural aspect of time loop, our protagonist acts very realistically, first with his heart and slowly using more of his mind as he made mistakes along the way.

Apparently there is adaptation of this manga, in anime form and also live action. I will try to check them out and edit my comment here to rate them if possible.

A very, very good story, a shame its English scanlation was on the uneven side.......but hey, it was completed and it's only noticeably confusing to read the English in certain parts, so yeah, very good.

Phenomenal

Addicting.

Predictable a bit.

Suspension of disbelief is high among all other mangas. The main character is truly a real design... He blurts out his thoughts in slips. He starts as a fake character and grows into almost a hero. It reminds me of Steins;gate in that way.

Also... "Scorcher"...who rates a manga as a 5 out of 10 and says "they don't make manga like this anymore"? Are you an idiot?
