​There's some time, I'm trying to remember the name of a pretty disturbing
manga  (Japanese comics)  series to recommend it to Ju at n.

​ He always ​gave me great suggestions of reading, and I bet he will like
this one, even being a heavy political drama.

I read only the beggining of this novel when visited my parents and I
always forget to ask its name.  I stopped my reading because I know the end
will be very tragic.  Dreamers and their dreams are usually destroyed in
the end.

Two little boys completely lost, poor, with no family, really disappointed
with all the corruption, with all the injustices, decide to sacrifice their
personal lives to change the world.  They make a deal, one of them would be
a politician to have strenght enough to directly affect the laws and the
government, and the other would always be on the backstage, giving support
to their childhood dreams, but also would rule in another aspect of the
corrupt society.  He becomes a criminal, a great and cruel gangster.  The
beggining of this sad and bitter story shows their dawn and how corruption
exists in all the places.  They grown up together like two brothers, and
try to save the world of the corruption because both knowed what was living
on the streets, starving, suffering in a place with no compassion or
Justice even for the children...  but you can see the corruption slowly
destroying their dreams...  Slowly destroying both...  :(
