Ikigami: The Ultimate Limit: Volume 4

by Motoro Mase, 232 pages

This volume's abbreviated lives belong to a sincere junior high teacher who, despite being the victim of a student-instigated smear campaign, never loses his faith in the innocence of children, and to a hard-working former teen mother who's trying to keep her small family afloat despite her young daughter's asthma and her car junky husband's fiscal irresponsibility. As he watches their fates unfold, Fujimoto finds more frustration than satisfaction in his work. And he's also clearly falling for kind Dr. Kubo. But if he knew what the reader has just learned, would he run the other way? Or rush in headfirst?

Dude! I cried twice, as expected, and then my eyes popped in "oooooh..." as a new plotline was revealed. Has the first step toward revolution been made? I don't know! But I'm gonna find out!
