Rated "Good" in our old book database. ( )

A lot of people didn't like this issue, but I think it's another cool down moment before the explosive end.

Kengi is growing more and more paranoid that his superiors are watching him, his coworkers are snitching on him to the higher ups, and he doesn't know when the hammer's going to drop on him. Unfortunately, his suspicions are correct while he goes on about his work, acting like nothing is wrong while slowly but surely defecting to the other side.

The cases this go round are just meh. One is about death, how accidental and intentional death leave little meaning if you paying for your crimes in a world where Ikigami can take you out. The second case is about a guy that's vain about his appearance being ugly and spends a shit ton of cash to get made over cosmetically via surgery to impress a schoolboy crush. Once he's on the verge of getting the woman he's lusted over, Kengi drops the letter, making all his efforts in vain.

Again, another day another death letter dollar. Worth the read exploring different facets of society completely ignoring or forgetting they may be sacrificed for the greater good despite their selfishness and vainness. ( )
