this Review are spoiler free

Boku Dake ga Inai Machi is an exceptional manga which full of tense, plot twist and amuse me till the end i read it. its all begin where Satoru, the main character , discovered his hidden power which is can time slip few minutes before something happens. He's enjoying his boring life until his mother got killed by serial killer that killed his friend 15 years ago. To prevent it happens, he time slipped, but this time he time slipped to 15 years ago. He realized, to save his mother means that he must save his friend from getting killed by the serial killer 15 years ago.

Erased (english version of Boku Dake ga Inai Machi) is a very much good and compelling story. although on the early chapter it seems to be boring stuff. Then, the story all sudden went climax when the mother dies, then it went down during the 15 years ago. So the Storyflow much alike roller coaster ride. Chapters after Chapters always bring you some feeling that "oh i dont want to stop reading now" or " damn, whose the real culprit " really bugs you if you read it biweekly like me. and the most interesting part is the ending, the ending is very much climatic and unpredictable.

Although the story is very much top tiered good stuff, unfortunately the art from this manga is the main weakness. The Character Design, i'm not very fond of it (except Hinazuki's Chara Design). i really disappointed seeing 1 chapter and having 3-5 panels that seems to be rushed on the production. The environment not really "I am Hero" 's level, but it works. i expected more on this section, but the mangaka seems not up to my expectation, instead the drawing getting sloppier and sloppier.

The Characterization really one point that needs to be praised, because reading Erased you can actually feels what the character felt. It is really breath taking when you can get into with one manga so much until you fell in love with the character. the main girl, Hinazuki is a meddlesome but nice kid. We got another main girl Airi, the bold but stupid girl that you want to protect so much, and also we got Sachiko, over-caring mother that really think that she's the best mother that you can have at that moment. The combination of these character really builds up the story and mold it into a very nice story.

Overall its a good Japanese Manga in this age, i'm so elated that the anime project is doing so well and also i'm happy with the story develops and wrapped. its been an amazing journey reading this manga. been following this since 3 years ago and its been a good ride...

9/10
