The story is very tragic. I was confused about quite a bit of the plot, though. Particularly the relationship between the boy and the bird boy. There was also quite a bit of sexual abuse that was fairly explicit compared to a lot of other manga (involving a young boy). Skipped those parts to the best of my ability. I couldn't decide whether removing the abuse scenes would add to the story or take from it so I'll let you decide. The overall lesson of the story confused me, as well, because it felt as if it was trying to convey something but I couldn't quite understand what it was. The bird boy was a unique premise, I thought, and I liked that. Either way, it did its job and made me sad.
