It's one of the most beautiful stories I have read, and its so dark its borderline disturbing. It explores the lengths of self-absorption and narcissism a person can get to and how people get lost in trying to be what they are not, and end up losing the true essence of who they were in the first place. its sickening to see some of the things the main character does in the manga; its a display of the downward spiral of a fake person who has lost himself.
