"Each person lives their own life passing on the desire to protect those dear to them to someone else".

A Suffocatingly Lonely Death -based on the titular manga by Inoryuu Hajime (story) and Itou Shouta (art)- is a mystery drama about a crime committed in the Haikawa Mansion where the remains of 13 children were found.

Despite some plot conveniences and some exaggerating acting performances here and there, the series manages to weave a dark and intriguing story posing one main question: "What is family?"
It deals with quite a few sensitive subjects and moral dilemmas in a delicate way, managing to make the series an easy and entertaining watch full of twists and turns.

I think saying anything more will spoil the drama, but I believe that people who like series with darker themes will thoroughly enjoy this one.

Last but certainly not least, a big thanks to Luwuang for her great translation. She gave me along with many other people the opportunity to experience this series.
