Not good

Only 2 chapters have been released (150 pages) but it was enough to realise that this isn't something I would continue reading. Many things occur very conveniently in order for the plot to move forward, but unfortunately not convincingly enough. The artwork is not good even though on first glance it seems to be. The overall theme of aided death is executed neither realistically nor compelling enough. I still don't understand what the main character is trying to achieve by assuming all these silly personas in order to get more details about the personal life of the person who wants to end his life.

Could have been a very interesting manga if the subject matter was treated with respect and the depth that it deserves. After all, we're dealing with what made a person want to end his life and how he's balancing the positives and negatives at this point in his life. Instead, we get a silly plot about a company dealing with illegal euthanasia that's stuffed with bishounen with a predispostition to unnecessary posing...

I was skimming through the scans for the recent Afternoon magazine, looking to see if anything looked interesting, and this series caught my eye. I don't understand Japanese, but I'm really loving the overall art style and the thematic elements this series seems to have (crime, drama, etc.) Really wish an English scanlator would pick this one up.
