Very loosely translated from ttp://www.presepe.jp/m44/sp/id/fqfANnHR_UY%253D

Slightly interesting bit from the blurb before the actual comments:

"Hei encounters many kinds of people in the story. A female researcher running away from her life, a blind girl, and a middle-aged man who believes only in money after having lost his ability to love. While each of them embraces the darkness in their own hearts, they are nonetheless struggling, and living. Through dealing with all these people, gradually a change starts taking place in Hei as he develops feelings of sympathy for his targets, feelings of guilt, and feelings of distrust towards The Organisation.
Eventually the bonds between Hei and the people around him slowly firm up, forming a loose pseudo-family around him."
