Until today. I decided the checkout the 200 page really short seemingly innocent Mujurushi. Now the main reason I put it so low is because of how short it is, if it was longer no doubt Naoki would have been able to work his story telling genius into making a fantastic ending and long form manga. However given the ridiculous and weird plot I doubt even more volumes would have helped. There's a lot to digest the story was not bad however by his standards it's a 7 at best and this coming from a guy who gave Pluto and 20th Century Boys a 10 (masterpieces please read them). Iwami is up there with Jar Jar Binks as characters that can somehow ruin an entire story beginning to end with his horrific character design and dialogue befitting a horror movie where I die of cringe. Other than that stupid French wannabe the rest of the plot and characters are decent I enjoyed the father daughter dynamic and I enjoyed how intelligent the young girl was. The whole factory plot and then the sudden twists that occurred in the later chapters remediates the story and the firefighter guy was by far the standout good guy of the story overall it's not bad but it is disappointing coming from Naoki. I still say check it out. Oh and I've always been a critic of Naoki's art, it's his story telling that transcends the medium of manga and turns every comic he makes into a novel series.
Spoilers section: I can't understand why the father would take her back till I remembered this shit is normal in Japan apparently. I would play devil's advocate and say he did it for his daughter either way throw that hoe wife away. Iyami was really goddamn annoying ruined the entire manga for me with his disgusting character design.
