Anyone else noticed that so many mangas seem to deal with the same depressing crap over and over again? Must be every second mangaka is a butthurt architecture major who can't get over their butthurt from being pushed into doing something practical by their parents, when all they want to draw is lolis with their panties showing.
I noticed a lot of them seem to be born of an interesting idea, with decent artwork and passable writing, but eventually end up running too long and repeating themselves ad nauseum. Or dragging shit out for no reason other than not wanting to take a risk and start something new. The pitfall of being inherently serialized, I suppose.
But I don't find them depressing in general. I don't know why you single out Nihei either, he's just claustrophobia-inducing.
It is actually revealed further down the line that both the main character and his "sister" are major psychopaths, and have been like that since they were small children. I am absolutely serious.

So? I'd still hit it.
I read ahead a little bit. If you are referring to the bit where they first met, I only see perfectly reasonable actions, and a rather accurate assessment of why it was ok. I recall having a similar view of that sort of person when I was that age, and probably would have done the same thing if I had the physical capability (which at that age I very much doubt I did).
Are you referring to a different scene I haven't seen yet?
First, look at child soldiers throughout history, second, his beloved daddy was pumping him full of unknown drugs.I'm not saying that wasn't a rational thing to do. Just that, at least the main character's behavior throughout and past the whole ordeal would have prompted me to make him go see a therapist. Children should not act like that.
