Mizutamari ni Ukabu Shima Heading for A Much Anticipated Climax in Vol 4

The first time you look at The Island Where Puddles Float manga, you’d think that it is just a struggle-based slice of life. But then you dig deeper and find out that it has much more to it than you imagined.

The story revolves around a pair of siblings, who are financially supported by their mostly absent, single mother. And this manga will definitely have you crying like a 5-year-old.

The manga Mizutamari ni Ukabu Shima (The Island Where Puddles Float) by Kei Sanbe announced that it would be reaching its conclusion in the upcoming 4th Volume on July 21.

Minato and Nagisa, the siblings, are used to looking after themselves due to their single mother working most of the time and not coming back home for weeks.

The story is beautifully written with artwork that fits it perfectly. There is a line in the manga, ‘I hate the rains,’ which signifies the gloom that the rain brings.

The two kids are left on their own, negligent of their own health and well-being. The kids are forced to put up fake smiles for everyone so that they don’t get worried unnecessarily.

However, things begin to take a really dark and twisted turn one day when the siblings go to a theme park with their mother.

Nagisa and Minato are left behind by their mother on a Ferris wheel. The siblings get agitated and try everything possible to get out. However, lightning strikes the cabin Nagisa and Minato are in.

What happens after that is something for you to find out by reading the manga by Kei Sanbe.

Sanbe is well-known for creating the manga series called ERASED which has also been adapted into an anime. The franchise recently revealed details for its second season as well.

Sanbe has a habit of fooling his readers, as his works suggest something else with the beginning and the title, but are entirely different on the inside.

The manga is about to reach its conclusion soon, so I suggest you hurry up and start reading it. I guarantee you that it will blow your mind!
