A Girl on the Shore. Definitely Inio Asano& #39;s least accessible work given its controversial subject matter and it& #39;s certainly not my favorite from him but I truly do admire the honesty and brutal reality he conveys in his work. Asano pulls no punches and for that I admire him.

I can& #39;t go into details as I& #39;m not one to spoil, but it& #39;s seriously hard to recommend this to anyone not already familiar with Asano& #39;s style of storytelling. It& #39;s definitely not something that should be an introduction to his work, for that I& #39;ll probably always point to Solanin.

But overall, I really found this to be a great manga, not a work I was necessarily always comfortable with while reading given some of the images it depicts (iykyk), but I actually commend it for that. Not the easiest read but it& #39;s still something you can get through quickly.

Gave it an 8/10 on MAL, it& #39;s worth the read but definitely ONLY if you& #39;re already at least slightly familiar with Asano& #39;s work. This thread is a little too long, probably should& #39;ve wrote this somewhere else. Anyway, onto the next manga, which I haven& #39;t decided on yet...
