Reading this after Raise wa Tanin ga Ii, makes you realize how the author has evolved their narrative and character development.
I mean, this story is objectively very good, I almost can't believe it's less than ten chapters, bc the amount of highs and lows that you feel while reading it makes you think you've read at least 30+ chapters.
Despite being such a well written narrative, and being so captivated by the characters, this story leaves a bitter taste in your mouth.
I'm not saying it should have had a happy fluffy ending, I'm aware this isn't this type of story.
But I did expect some kind of closure and I don't think one panel with "she's really dead isn't she?" was enough.
The story feels incomplete tbh.
There's an underlying ominous feeling that makes you tense up as the story builds, but it's like it never really go anywhere.
It almost feels like the this heavy tension will snap after chapter 8.
Idk how to explain it, I just wish they let the author cook a bit longer lol
Oh thank fuck
I thought he'd be incorrigible and try getting revenge or something
It feels like he's actually done a lot of atoning for that first life he remembers
But my thing is, why was he waiting all this time? If he's really seeking forgiveness, why don't you lead things with a sincere "I'm sorry"?
Sure, it doesn't solve things, but I guess it's the first time he could take to not be terrible to his brother
I wish they could just have a normal brotherly relationship
This dude must have changed after being sentenced to eternally reincarnating ffs
i think he was waiting for his brother to be born again so that he could be sure he lives happily and safe and that he doesn't ask for forgiveness because he still doesn't think he deserves it
but I agree, i wish they could be at least on a talking at the phone once a month basis (i kinda hope that sometime in the future he can do a good act and be truly forgiven and have a happy ending himself perhaps)
This manga has literally shaped the way I make art
I hope katsura hoshino-san is doing ok
I don't mind not getting frequent updates if it means she's healthy, it's been more than 20 years already after all
