Hitman Chinatsu once failed to pull the trigger on his target and it cost him his brother's life. That day, the sole witness who took Chinatsu's trembling hand had clear eyes that stared right through him... straight into the abyss within.
Five years later, a purse-snatching reunites Chinatsu with his savior: Kasumi, a young blind man searching for a way out of his own lonely world. Chinatsu knows better than to get involved with a potential witness, but he can't help but be drawn to Kasumi's radiant smile. If Kasumi knew the truth of their provenance, could he ever forgive the sins of Chinatsu's past?
Touch Within the Abyss was a compelling story of two very different people coming together because they need the other person to help them escape their past and present. This is a one-shot and the story therefore moved along at a fast pace. At times this made me feel it would have been nice to take longer to expand their relationship, but overall it didn't feel so rushed that I found it unbelievable. The illustration was lovely throughout, and there was a bit of spice but not too explicit (if that's a factor in your reading). The emotional expressions of the characters in the illustrations was of particular note, and both Chinatsu and Kasumi were compelling figures. My only small complaint was the ease at which the final obstacle was overcome, as it felt a little too good to be true, but I guess otherwise the story could not have been completed in a single volume. Overall, though, a delightful BL manga and I am giving it 4.5 stars.
I received this book as a free eBook ARC via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
