The story revolves around a relatively small cast, made up of 6 main characters, 5 of whom had some connection as children. And it works. The story doesn't suffer at all from having a small cast. In fact, I would say the small cast is part of why it's so good. Having only a small number of characters means, that the reader actually has a chance of figuring out who each of the characters are, and why they act the way they do. This makes the characters much easier to relate to, which is a huge plus for me, especially with this kind of story. The art shifts a lot, going from really detailed drawings to "chibi-style" drawings literally from one panel to the next occasionally, but this doesn't feel as distracting as one would expect. The story moves at a steady pace, sometimes a bit slower than other times, but when it does move slowly, it's because the author is more focused on developing the characters at that moment, so that when the story moves faster again, the characters are that much more interesting. Personally, I think Okuru Kotoba is a great story, with great characters. I can easily recommend it to anyone who understands Japanese.
