Manga-neophyte Matt Haigh dips his toe in Manga comics for the first time.

And it’s a fairly encouraging start…

Subsequently, I began reading the book from the end, but luckily realized my mistake some pages in.

The book opens with Elwood, a young boy whos been working as a pick-pocket for a criminal gang.

He has a terminally ill sister, whom he takes care of.

All perfectly normal, then.
