Synopsis

The story, also adapted into a live-action film, is told from the point of view of 14-year-old Eriko, who is left in charge of her younger brother Daigo, when her parents disappear. Contrary to most manga, in Route 225, the disappearing parents are a major part of the plot. Daigo and Eriko have somehow been transported to an alternate world, from which they are still somehow able to dial back cryptic messages to Earth mobile phones.

Edit
Background

Route 225 is based upon the 2002 novel by Chiya Fujino.

It's easy to get lost, but can you find your way home?

Story: 7
It's not easy to follow what is happening, but this is a strong point in this story. The reader gets confused along with the main characters. Nothing is predictable enough to make anything boring, making the concept more interesting.

Characters: 8
The main characters are really the main ones because of what is happening in the story, and it's easy to relate to them.

Art: 7
Not too much detail, but it's still giving a clear picture on every panel. Maybe the facial expressions could be more deeper.
