Something strange is going on in "Soil New Town." The sudden disappearance of a seemingly normal family leads the two detectives Yokoi and Onoda to the idyllic town in the middle of nowhere. What looks like a routine case at first quickly turns into a complex and deadly riddle where nothing is what it seems to be. Will the two disparate investigators manage to solve the mystery before it's too late?

Personal Opinions
IShallRiseAgain
This series is pretty great. I don't want to spoil the plot for those who haven't read it, but the story is well paced and the narrative develops at a natural rate. It slowly builds towards something and doesn't just dive right into things, which is ultimately for the better. The story keeps things mysterious, but also isn't afraid to give answers.
The characters are fairly well-developed and they are relatively unique.
This manga is also pretty interesting if you compare it the TV show Twin Peaks, which explores similar themes and has some similar plot elements. It gives a Japanese perspective on the ideas in Twin Peaks and its interesting to see how someone from Japan would interpret them.
