That was one of the first mangas I tried to read. And nowadays, it’s even more nostalgia than ever.
It’s still a difficult read. Constant time jumps between different time periods, many characters with Japanese names and nicknames to remember.
One of the most prominent themes in this manga is the role of the family. Kenji was risen by his elder sister, since his parents were a failure. So now he repays her by taking care of her newborn daughter, Kanna.
The manga also conveys sense of paranoia common to “cult” stories: who can you trust? Who else is a cult member?
My main gripe with the story at the moment, is that at the very beginning Kanna is shown to have some Abilities, and all the characters speak about her as The Last Hope. But only her nanny (an the reader) witnessed those.
One episode that really annoyed me was when Kenji decides not to shoot Friend “because he’s Kanna father”. Yeah, his nephew simply cannot live without her terrorist cult leader biological father she never met!
