Blood on the Tracks Volume 5 by Shuzo Oshimi continues to explore Seiichi's trauma. After forging a deeper connection with Fukiishi and rejecting his mother, Seiichi has to figure out what his next move is. It is clear that he is deeply traumatized and just trying to find a way to feel safe. Oshimi does such a great job of exploring the emotional lives of the characters through simple moments and their complex feelings. This series is heartbreaking and terrifying. An excellent series so far.
