Sweet potato and taro balls in Jiufen Keelung Night Market is one of the best night markets in Taiwan. It’s in Keelung City, not New Taipei City, but I mention it here because it’s easy to combine with your visit to places like Yehliu, Jiufen, or Shifen in Eastern New Taipei City. Finish your day trip at the market before heading back to Taipei. On Shenkeng Old Street, try some of the best stinky tofu in Taiwan. You can find the stewed (麻辣臭豆腐), grilled (串燒臭豆腐), and deep fried (臭豆腐) kinds of stinky tofu. Also try tofu ice cream, douhua (豆花), and other traditional snacks. In Pinglin tea area, it’s all about baozhong tea (包種茶), a light, subtly melon-flavored oolong tea. Small restaurants there also served tea-infused dishes like tea oil noodles and deep fried tealeaves. Stinky tofu in Shenkeng On Wulai Old Street, you can try all kinds of aboriginal foods, like bamboo tubes filled with sticky rice, mountain greens, betel nut flowers, fried river shrimps, tiger lily soup, and millet wine (小米酒). Banqiao has more restaurants than I could cover here, but if you’re looking for a quick answer, there’s a Din Tai Fung and a strangely excellent food court in B1 of Mega Mall beside Banqiao Station. The food court is designed to look like an old-fashioned market street.Now, sex and romance (or lack thereof) is most certainly apart of Coming of Age and a massive causation of depression worldwide and of course most importantly, within Japan. Though, in no good mind can I find the reason for the female characters to be one minute rendering their soul apart in double page spreads of pure outbursts of sorrow, anguish and rage to the next issue be throwing themselves on our main character as if he was lathered in aphrodisiac. In order to justify these rapid moodswings and sudden appearances of intense thirst, Minenami Ryou has to apply rather tired character archetypes in order to placate the Young Jump crowd and editorial staff. Particuarly of note is the disillussionment of the teacher character, one that as previously noted, has a legitimate reason to be involved with Reiji Kurose and has a genuine feeling of sadness about them but is then degraded to having a far too familiar trope seemingly forced onto them in order to remain prominent in the series and satisfy some weird neccessity that far too much Seinen seems determined to have.
As for the other aspects of the manga, the art retains the familiarlity of the rest of Minenami Ryou's work, not exceptional but acceptable, except for some occurrences where there are mild flexes that show impressive talent. It can also be said that the character designs are unique to the point of everyone being instantly identifiable whilst still maintaining utter believability. Not easy by any means. The pacing of the manga is generally quite good and leads to an overall easy read (darkly humorous considering the subject matter isn't meant to be digestable), this could be consumed in one afternoon quite comfortably and the little plot hooks laid towards the end of chapters are firm enough to drag "just one more issue" out of you.
Overall, Shounen no Abyss seems to definitely have the wherewithal to achieve more and be better than the sum of it's parts. However, it's holding back and falling into safe zones that means it will please the small crowd it gains and probably fall into obscurity in a few years or under the radar to be later discussed as a "hidden gem". Ironically a theme of the manga is causing yourself pain to endlessly please those who don't really care for you, settling for mediocrity as it's best for those that have expectations.
