Genres - Drama, Sports, Psychological, Seinen.
Authors - Sakamoto, Shinichi

From the title you can guess how much i liked this manga, i surfed through Myanimelist to find good seinen manga and i found this Golden Gem. The Manga takes the story to the deep philosophical and psychological world of Mori Buntarou, who is a Mountain Climber. Life is not easy and therefore for you to enjoy you need to climb the mountain to achieve your dream..a random quote i made. The life of mori Buntarou is explored in this manga from a high school student to the Professional Mountain Climber.

Synopsis - On his first day of transferring to a new high school, a loner named Mori Buntarou, is cajoled by a classmate into climbing the school building. Despite knowing that one misstep could send him spiraling to his death, he moves forward, and upon finally reaching the top, Mori experiences a sense of fulfillment. That feeling, which seems to be telling him, " You're alive!" gives birth to an adrenaline for rock-climbing.

Story(9.5/10) - The story is indeed a well adapted and is based on life of the real Buntarou. There is no hint of exaggeration and follows a realistic approach. The basic plot follows a realistic pattern of human life, following from his evolution from Introvert Dreamless boy to Strong Independent Man.

Art(9/10) - From the below pic you can guess, how deep and rich the artwork is and how much details are put forth in each panel.The style of Sakamoto has a very realistic approach and is very unique.

Characterization(8/10) - The Protagonist's personality has been shown perfectly and the hint of changes over time due to his ownself and his surrounding is depicted perfectly. There is a potential romance in the story which also has effect on

Overall(9.5/10) This is one Great Manga and it deserves much more. Sakamoto sensei is one of my fav. mangaka just after Akira toriyama and Takehiko Inoue. It is also in my top ten list and has made a comfortable place there.
