I would definitely recommend this manga (or anime if preferred) to any new otaku getting into manga (and anime) .The story itself is quite serious and with the mix of the Ainu culture it is a one of a kind manga ,but it also has a quite a bit of comedy integrated and as you watch the duo's antics it never ceases to put a smile on your face!. Its excellent dialogue, a plot which gets you invested, and an array of interesting characters make this a wonderful manga to binge and enjoy it goes same for the anime version as well.
