Sion Sono's film adaptation of this 4 volume manga is obviously my favorite movie, so I had to pick its origins as my first manga. I'm really enjoying it in how different it is to the film. It's said that Sono drastically changed his script because of a flood that damaged much of Japan just before filming started and that comes to show mostly in the differences in characters and environments. The school friends of Sumida were changed to old homeless people, the boathouse into a very damaged one with a shack floating in a nearby lake. The differences are what make the film more depressing, yes, but they also change the message about loss of innosense in a very deep way. I think the robbery plotline in this second volume highlights that fact. Here it's done by a kid, who wants to help his friend survive and let me tell you, it's some powerful shit.

Highly recommend checking out this very simple, short manga. It's not nearly as visually extravagant as the beautifully shot film, but the plot is still truly amazing.

This manga series is actually extremely depressing. Infamously one of the most depressing mangas I heard, the media wasn’t wrong.
