Act Age quickly became a favorite manga of mine for its wonderful art, deep and nuanced characterization, and intriguing story. As another reviewer posted, it is a fantastic example of non-battle shonen manga and infused the common shonen themes beautifully into a series with complexity and characterization that rivals or beats most shonen manga and anime.

Despite its cancellation due to the disgusting crimes committed by the author, the series is a real gem and the artist, Shiro Usazaki, started strong and has matured into a wonderful creator who I hope is supported in future endeavors.

If you don't mind reading an incomplete series and can enjoy the numerous, beautiful and engaging arcs already completed, I'd highly recommend the series.
