Kagen No Tsuki is a supernatural mystery manga created by Ai Yazawa, who both wrote and illustrated the series. The narrative centers around Mizuki Mochizuki, a high school student who becomes deeply infatuated with Adam, the lead singer of the British rock band Evil Eye. On her way to meet Adam, Mizuki is struck by a car while crossing the street, leaving her in a coma for an extended period.

Hotaru, while searching for her lost cat, stumbles upon an abandoned building where she hears someone playing the piano. She brings her friends back to introduce them to the pianist, but they can't see her. The pianist turns out to be Eve, the ghost of Mizuki, who has no memory except for Adam. The story delves into unraveling the mysteries surrounding Eve, as her group of friends tries to uncover the truth about what happened.

Ai Yazawa's art style is striking and impressive, maintaining her usual high standard. I was captivated by the enigmatic and somber atmosphere. Although the story is heart-wrenching, there's a sense of hope as Adam and Eve anticipate reuniting in heaven. The characters are intriguing, and I found the concept of young detectives solving a mystery particularly appealing. The plight of the star-crossed lovers evokes great empathy. The story is unconventional, which only enhances its charm.

This is a concise manga that can be read in a day or so, spanning just three volumes.

In summary, it delivers a satisfying mystery tale.

VOL. 1: On a whim, I decided to try something different, and I'm really glad I did! This isn't typically the kind of manga I'd choose, but it didn't take long for it to grab my attention, and I'm already hooked on what's coming next. The characters are all very appealing, the artwork is fantastic, and the story seamlessly blends various genres like comedy, romance, and mystery. The melancholic atmosphere that has been crafted here is impressive, and overall, this felt like a refreshing change from what I usually enjoy.

Good stuff.

VOL. 2: The mystery continues to deepen, and it's absolutely brilliant. The four kids are incredibly likable and well-developed, and this series has captivated me not just through its mystery and storytelling, but also because I truly feel connected to the characters and am eager to see how their personal stories progress. Straight into the final volume!

VOL 3: Fantastic conclusion! This is definitely one of the best manga I've read that doesn't span hundreds of chapters. Some of the characters here show more depth and growth than those in manga ten times as long. Even if this isn't your typical choice in manga (which was true for me), give it a shot, as the mystery fully delivers, and I believe you'll be pleasantly surprised by how engaging it is.

I want to take a moment to commend Ai Yazawa for her work on this story.

Story: 8/10 (Very Good)

The narrative begins in a mysterious manner, as though the characters' world is exclusive to them. Picture an invisible circle enclosing these characters. Initially, there's a spiritual vibe... This spiritual element was very engaging, compelling me to read further.

At first, the story might seem predictable, but it takes an unexpected turn. Sometimes, it was confusing too, leaving readers with no choice but to keep reading to uncover the answers...

I'm glad to say that this story was satisfying. Through the characters' courage, the plot progressed as questions were resolved and hearts found peace.

Art: 9/10 (Great)

Ai Yazawa maintained consistency, ensuring every character was recognizable. She has a keen eye for detail when it comes to eyes, which greatly aided in identifying and understanding the emotions of the characters.

Ai Yazawa also ensured important scenes were well-drawn. Everything she illustrated was pertinent to the story.

Characters: 8/10 (Very Good)

There are numerous events that push the characters to grow and make their own decisions. The characters were honest about their feelings, expressing and crying at their vulnerabilities, making them easier to understand.

All the characters evolved from hopeful idealists to acknowledging that sometimes, despite one's best efforts, wishes don't come true. Thus, they learn their limitations and face reality by recognizing what they can achieve instead.

Interestingly, the main characters are children - sometimes people underestimate kids as being too young or lacking the knowledge to accomplish much. But these four characters demonstrated that despite their youth and small frames, they had the will to help those in need. They were remarkable supporters and friends; even though the series is incredibly brief, it was impressive to witness the children's development.

Enjoyment: 9/10 (Great)

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this series - the characters gradually grew on me as I was moved by their determination to both assist others and accept when it was time to let go. Despite its short length, tears streamed down my cheeks towards the end.

Ai Yazawa crafted beautiful monologues to express the characters' feelings. It was easy to grasp their stubbornness as they sought goals beyond their reach... The helplessness and sorrow the characters experienced were entirely understandable.

I truly appreciated the hope present at the series' conclusion. Ai Yazawa depicted the characters' continuation of their lives realistically. Despite any losses, it was inspiring to see them striving towards their futures.

I believe this story serves as a great reminder to readers to live life to the fullest without regrets.

Last Quarter… The final phase of the lunar cycle before the moon slips into perpetual darkness. Kagen no Tsuki (Last Quarter) is a Shoujo, Supernatural, Mystery, Romance that presents a narrative unlike anything Ai Yazawa has created before, yet it still retains the style for which she is famous.

Much like Ai's more renowned manga, Nana, Kagen no Tsuki begins with an extraordinary prologue—one of my favorites, in fact. An unsuspecting reader might not realize it's a prologue until it dawns on them. It's then that the story truly unfolds. Without giving too much away, Kagen no Tsuki follows a group of four children who inadvertently get entangled in another girl's quest to find the man she longs for. However, numerous mysteries surround this young girl: Who is she? Why can't she leave the abandoned house? And what is her true desire? With romance playing a secondary role, the kids take it upon themselves to unravel these mysteries and reach some kind of resolution in this profound case. With a complex array of plot developments and unexpected twists, it's no surprise that everything eventually ties together to form a complete masterpiece of a story.

The four children mentioned are not the type you'd expect to be in such a surreal tale, yet they become the characters who steal the spotlight. There isn't much character development for them, as it's all reserved for the young girl in question (Mizuki), and I must say she was developed quite well. Nonetheless, I would have liked to see more romantic growth between the children and other characters, and I wish some characters, like Mizuki's friend, hadn't been pushed aside as if they were insignificant.

Regarding the artwork, Ai fans or pretty much any shoujo manga enthusiast would adore it for its intricate attention to detail, such as the aesthetic features of the abandoned house and the expressions in one's eyes. On the other hand, those not accustomed to this style, especially when it comes to character designs, might find it challenging to adjust.

Overall, Kagen no Tsuki was a brief, surreal story that conveyed so much in such a short time. What's intriguing is that the mystery surrounding the young girl resembles one of those cliché scary (tragic love) stories someone might tell in a spooky setting when the mood calls for it, yet there was nothing cliché about this story. It was a touching tale about reclaiming lost love, with the help of some compassionate individuals. Maintaining such a somber atmosphere throughout, a bittersweet ending is probably the best one could hope for. So, in the end, is this the kind of mysterious story you're seeking? You have until the conclusion of the Last Quarter to discover the answer.

The standout feature of this manga is undoubtedly its story. As I delved into it, elements like the characters and the art took a backseat. Initially, I thought this was all there would be—a simple tale of the protagonist meeting a boy who intrigued her. Honestly, I hadn't read the synopsis, which might explain my initial impression. However, as I progressed through the chapters, I COULDN'T STOP READING. I was desperate to uncover what happened next.

The narrative captivates you, grips you tightly, and extracts every ounce of emotion possible. It's a story about true love. It's about life and death. It's about loss. It's about believing in an afterlife where we go when we pass on. It's about hope—the unyielding hope that resides within us. This manga made me realize that nothing surpasses the importance of love—not merely romantic love, but all forms of love we often overlook.

The way the story unfolds is among the finest I've ever encountered. It begins by seeming superficial, then gradually pulls you into depths so profound that you may struggle to keep pace if you don't fully grasp the unfolding events.

Although I mentioned earlier that the characters and other aspects faded while reading, I did notice how impactful it was that some of the main characters were children. This added authenticity to the story, highlighting that unconditional, powerful love only the pure-hearted can truly offer.

Overall, this manga left me deeply saddened, bringing tears to my eyes. The mere thought of never being with the person I love again, or them forgetting me for the greater good, is heart-wrenching beyond measure.

JUST READ IT. It's one of the greatest stories ever. Even if the artwork isn't exceptional or other elements are average, the story more than compensates for it.  

<p>

I was hesitant to dive into 'Kagen no Tsuki' after having a tough experience with Nana, which I ended up abandoning, and being left in limbo with 'Paradise Kiss.' However, the latter turned out to be a rewarding journey with a realistic conclusion that suited the series, and I eventually embraced and cherished it.  

This time around, the manga wasn't as emotionally taxing as its predecessors but possessed all the ingredients for success and enjoyment right from the start. It genuinely felt like I was watching a film. The events progressed seamlessly, and even though we were aware of many critical aspects of the unfolding story, it remained thrilling to uncover all the details and accompany the four friends on their emotional adventure.  

Story: 9/10 - Art: 8/10 - Characters: 8/10 - Enjoyment: 10/10 - Overall: 9/10  

'Kagen no Tsuki' is mysterious and captivating, yet it doesn't delve so deeply that you feel exhausted after reading it, unlike the mangaka's other works I mentioned earlier.  

It's an excellent short read, and I highly recommend it. I also wish the mangaka had expanded it into a series centered around the four friends as they explore additional mysteries.
