I was surprised. As a longtime fan of Kunihiko Ikuhara's work, I absolutely loved this series. The reviewer's main complaint seems to be that it isn't funny. I wouldn't categorize it as a comedy, although there are certainly humorous moments. I guess not everyone appreciates Ikuhara's brand of absurd humor, which functions as some relief to the more serious themes.
