Recommend manga thread

#49
This is a thread that is okay to necro (if you ask me), since the other information on the thread is still relevant.

Anyway, here's another manga that I tend to read English scans of instead of in Japanese:

僕だけがいない街

Difficulty: *** (lots of narration for a manga)
Furigana: Yes

Published in Young Ace and online here: http://comic-walker.com/contents/detail/...010000_68/
(first and latest chapter available online).

A mystery series where the protagonist goes back in time to when he was a child and tries to prevent some child killings, save the innocent man blamed for them, and hopefully catch the real criminal so that he can't kill anyone else in the present.
You'll see none of that in the first chapter though, as it's used entirely to set up the main character (and the excuse for how he'll be going back in time) and only references the events of the past at the very end; however, the majority of the plot revolves around what I mentioned above (I avoided spoilers).
I'm not a mystery aficionado (other than a couple Sherlock Holmes stories and a couple other manga, I haven't really read many mysteries), so I can't say if it's good as a mystery story, but it's definitely a good read. Obviously, it's incomplete at the moment.
