#MangaMonday 98 “Adabana” by NON
What’s a little dismemberment between friends?
Some mysteries are Whodunits, others are Howdunits, still others are Whydunits. This one… shifts. We know from the opening pages that Mizuki Aikawa dismembered her friend Mako Igarashi. She quickly confesses to her murder. Her lawyer senses that something isn’t adding up, but what exactly?
As you may have guessed, this is a dark #manga; there’s murder, sexual assault, and dismemberment. At its core, it’s a psychological mystery. Mizuki is the main character, but we don’t really get inside her head. This requires the visuals to do a lot of the work. Fortunately, NON’s detailed art is up to it.
Complete with two of three volumes released in English (Dark Horse.) The third is coming in June.
