ウスズミの果て 1

Stumbled across this manga the other day, read the free preview, and instantly knew I had to read it. And once I started reading, I couldn't put it down.

It's a post-apocalyptic story following the story of a girl searching a destroyed city for survivors of a calamity (結晶病 "crystal disease") and disposing of the bodies of those who didn't make it. It's quite a bleak story, and as a content warning there is suicide and some body horror throughout.

It isn't a very text-dense read, especially for the first few chapters, but the vocabulary required is definitely not at a beginner level. Luckily, a lot of the more difficult vocab is core to the story so it was repeated throughout. The grammar wasn't too complicated, although there were some more formal speech patterns in some places.
