Chapter 42 reporting in...

This review maybe biased due to alcohol intake

Story:10
Well what can i say usually people can write story's like that either by having very open and colorful imagination or they experienced it first hand. You may see here real trauma, drama and life if I may say so, if you think that this story is solely a fiction then please do continue to live in your safety bubble thinking about your friends and family members as sane members of society (like uniform society where everyone is good and cool).
Here you can see a story about a father workaholic (norm in Japan) or who is cheating, mother who is sliding to the crazy side it doesn't even matter what classification of disease and a boy who lives with it since he has no choice (Reference to a holes yes he has many choices, i know that but i'm talking about an average kid who doesn't have any trades and is of average intelligence (straight A's in school don't count )).
Every chapter is like thriller you wait for another chapter but you are afraid every chapter that something horrid will happen and you never know when it will happen.

Art:10
Art maybe not so great from the first look but then you realize, no this art for this manga is perfect it touches you and makes a great symbioses with story, chapter 1 you don't suspect anything ultra weird here but art tells you: This flight my boy will be tough one. Background due to the art style ain't fascinating but it is due to art style no because of lack of talent. Panels and dialogue bubbles are good (not the best), you can read it and you will most probably won't get confused.

Character:10
Character development....guys and gals don't get me started here...please just don't in short yes there is one and it feels alive. Character personality is..ALIVE, you can see messed up people here, normal life coercing with life behind the closed doors (when family acts normal but behind the closed doors we see real s&^t happen). This characters are declaration to all people don't be arrogant and don't oversimplify (note to me too) other family issues if you don't know squat. All in all this manga shows you that mangakas can make their mangas real, but simple real is boring so write a story about 1 in 1000 family's (drunks and drug addicts don't count this isn't internal problem more like external stimuli helping to destroy).
In short it's ALIVE!

Enjoyment:8
I enjoyed it and finished 42 chapters fast (some could say in a heartbeat), but something was off like MC is twisted alright (mother is something else twisted ain't a word for her) but he had few moments when he was in cohesive in his judgement be it as it may child, traumatized and etc. but something was off in my perspective in his behavior (it may as well be my inexperience talking to me, but still).
Partly i felt something was off and either cut off from original thought or wasn't thought through....

Overall:9
Can't call it master piece (it's not finished yet and something is off), all in all i like it and will continue to read it.
Caution to people who like fluffy story's it isn't one and it may very well have a bad ending this a life story not children's book story post 20th century where kiss:marriage:happy life sequence goes on, it has a grim undertone (Hypothesis:Grim->Brothers Grimm).
I liked it since i saw some messed things in life and this manga simply shows me the other side of the coin of our life, to me it is not solely a baseless fiction it is a story of a boy with overprotective and mentally ill mother and a boy with mother complex (You heard me right MOTHER COMPLEX, if not he wouldn't do things that he has done up until chapter 42).

Update here: S*%t got real brothers and sisters, mother complex scratch that we have some serious drama here it's hard to read it not because it's bad but how author decided to smash us with drama a natural drama that one would expect but would not believe even after reading it, it's one of those stories are too good to be fiction i have now even more confidence that author had experienced it or the very least found it in real life.
