After 34 chapters of setup, it finally looks like the story can actually go somewhere. At least, I hope that the mangaka figures out that only having depression as your focus doesn't really keep the readers attention for too long. Nevertheless I am very interested in how the story will go. Potential is the biggest factor as to why I give this manga above a 5. There are many potential plot threads to explore: The mass depression surrounding the town, the weird family dynamic, the inner conflict between giving up and throwing away the suffering or enduring it in hopes of a better future, the ideologies and idealisms of the main cast, the overobsessive behavior towards eachother and I could likely go on and on. The hope that it develops in a direction that's not utterly disappointing is only faint however, as the writer as of yet has not done much with the story. If you read the first chapter and skip to the last it's not as if you're completely confused as to what's going on. But for now I'm slightly excited to see where it goes and curious as too see if the author will cowardly base the ending on the hollow relationship with the mc and the idol in the end.
