The things I like about seinen manga is that the themes, characters, and messages presented are sophisticated. Though I'm not implying that shoujo and shounen manga aren't, but the percentage of of them that actually contain such attributes is very few.
The protagonist, Juri, gets taken to a prison to help convicts on the death row with her aunt who works as a nun. There she meets a serial killer named Yuu. The story unravels both of their tragic pasts. Though it was initually Juri who was supposed to provide help for Yuu, he also returns that same favour by gently letting her realize the beauty of the world, and of life itself.
