I don't read a lot of thought provoking or, y'know, halfway mature stuff, but this is just. So good.
Mind-fuck like woah, but really interesting. It seems like it's going to start out generic sports manga with slightly off-putting art, but then shit gets real and the story-line gets much more realistic. It becomes a really interesting psychological drama with heavy themes of isolation, fear, and social anxiety, viewed through the lens of mountain climbing.
I keep rereading this, even though the art is a little meh. Even the parts that are supposed to be dramatic are kinda cute, and I have a weakness.
Actually downloaded the chinese raws for this one 'cause the wait for scanlations looks somewhat hopeless. There's only like, what, 5? chapters translated but I keep reading them over and over. The story is just a lot of fun, and I actually really do like the stupid body proportions. ;)
Shounen-ai fantasy adventure with epic bromance.
Sometimes I like to read this just to stare at all the pretty pictures. Like the art is just wow
