spoilers and sarcasm

Hi! It's me again, here reviewing some manga stuff, so here's my review or re thingy.

this was my first time reviewing manga, I don't think it's amazing, I am still currently (2/21/2022), perfecting my critic/reviewing skills, but this was before, I was even at my current level, so please don't judge my entire talent of reviewing based off this lol, I would say I've gotten better since then, and yeah I edited some stuff to make it better, but It's still not the greatest review ever lol, This also wasn't supposed to be entirely serious, and I was very tired because I had finished this manga at like 2 am or some shit, so I was almost passing out lol, so imma stop saying why it isn't my best lol, anyways enjoy I guess

The Secret

The driving force of the story, Nanao, our main guy, a sixth-grade soccer player, finds out that
Suzumura Rio, a classmate, and fellow 11 years old, (with her brother) are living alone with no parents. A surprising fact to Nanao, who tries to keep this a secret the entire story.

The First Lie.

MC talks to his mother about going to a soccer camp thingy over the summer (I'm fucking tired, I'm writing this at 4 am)
But he lies, the first lie... SEE WHAT I DID THERE... Anyways, he goes over to Girl MC's place, and he spends time there- see I don't know how long, I'm not sure what they said- Anyways at some point, Rio tells him their father visits each summer. Fast Foward, it's the day of a festival and it's the day the father comes!

A Father's Lie

He ends up not coming...

A Father's Lie to his children...

They figure that they better just go to the festival because they figure out the asshole ain't comin' so...
MC fell in love...
With her, obviously...
They come back, and apparently the beetle thing- that I didn't figure to mention -died, so MC buries it. The kid is sad so... He IG tries to dig it back up, IDK lol. But then he finds another secret...

Jesus, how many secrets at this point...

The body...
The Body of their dead grandfather... Obviously, after a little talking MC run's off to his mother and stuff, then we get her backstory...
Apparently one day The Father said, hey I'm going to get crab's in Alaska... FUCKING ALASKA??? YOU BELIEVE THAT?!? Okay, Okay, they're kids, but like, alright, never mind lmaooo. SO YEAH, he goes and CRABS in Alaska, some type of crabs alright, idk bout' the food kind.
Anyways so she goes to the festival, I'm guessing or some mall or some shit. The kid and the grandpa want to go upstairs...
Younger Brother of Female MC, accidentally, accidentally...
C'MON WE ALL KNOW HE IS A MURDERER, FUCKIN' PLANNED IT OUT, I'm kidding, like /s or whatever.
Anyways he accidentally tips his grandpa over, and he's not breathing well when GIRLMC, comes back. She's like, welp gotta bury em', buries him in the yard ig, sad, ik sad. (It was actually sad for seriousness.)
AND WE'RE BACK TO THE PRESENT.

RUN FOREST RUN.

They run away because he comes back unphased like yeah I love this girl who buried her grandpappy.
yes, I get it makes at least half sense
So they go to someplace far away after traveling on a bus, end up in some hotel, they get a room, then the hotel personnel rats on them to the cops- understandable, I wouldn't want kids in my hotel either -They come back home after runnin' away, mom not angry with her child. The 2 kids there,- holy shit my headset is playing Lose Yourself by Eminem, YESSS, oh right: a review. -they get sent to some home, and mom is not mad with her kid like I said.
So one day, MC gets's call with FEMALE-MC, she's like: yo let's meet again, but imma say it in a way that can be used as an ending text.
okay so there is also, a whole theme of even god lie's- HAHAHA, THAT's THE NAME OF THE MANGA -and how his father lied to him about living, and f-mc's dad, really didn't go to alaska- noooooooo, really?, actually that was surprising, lol -and he was in the town the entire time, and he was just tired of living with his family, like what?

Anyways, how did your reviewer like it, well here:

it was quite good, I liked the overall theme, the art was extremely solid, the main 2 were pretty cool, the little brother was adorable... the ending felt anti-climatic, a tad bit, like yeah let's meet again, like sure, but...
SO like, I normally hate the distant finale trope-

I thought the character development was quite good, I guess it could have been a bit stronger, but children having to carry this with them, and then them running away, all of the pressure. I mean be in this girl's position having to raise a child by herself, while shes like Eleven herself, and like then this other kid comes in and now she has the pressure that he will also keep that secret, she doesn't wanna be possibly separated from her brother either, so she has to keep the secret that she doesn't have any guardian with her. It's kinda nuts, but I think it's handled pretty well.
Anyway, I enjoyed it quite a bit, and recommend it.
