Superb!
It poetically and dynamically captures a moment of youth.
The rich and unique artwork gives depth to the story.
The rooftop scene and the moment they run out into the rain never fail to feel powerful, no matter how many times you read it.
It may not fit the classic "Shonen Jump" mold, but it's an outstanding work that shows the true potential of manga.
