Iken Senki Völundio - Vol. 8 Ch. 62 - As Long As You Can Live a Happy Life

[Nuclear_Feacesist]

They're finally going to have the talk

 

[deathpad]

It is so peeaaaaaaaaak. Just one page is enough to make me relieved. Geez. What a great writing

 

[ZXKeyr324XZ]

Relieved known faces (and well known at that) are back, but now the dooming question of "Is Kohaku dead" will actually be posed

And im torn on whether I want her to revive or not...

 

[Yamchrod]

Mann...i love this manga...its hurts but...

 

[Alcion]

All the hugs are needed.

 

[azewi]

... at least his friends found him.

 

[ZTMY]

I missed these two so much

 

[ltdome]

Every final page illusts in this entire arc always hit me like a fucking train man

Now in order to make those 2 believe that he may be able to bring Kohaku back, or atleast give him a chance, Cleo might have to reveal what Kohaku did to him a hundred years ago.

Oh breaks? Hell naw

[Trulvir]

Where can I read the chapters between 34 and 55?

On another website that ripped them off from comikey.

Just google Volundio Bato to and the first link should be good

An important thing to recognise is that Cleo's will to fight wasn't reignited by Safia and Shrack showing up. When Cleo was drowning in regrets and lying down waiting to die, it was Kohaku's request that made him stand up again. "I want you to stay alive no matter what".

When Cleo was alone in that chapel surrounded by slavers about to find him, he still didn't feel like giving up. He said it himself: the situation could not be worse. He barely had the strength to stand.

But he did stand up. He did prepare to fight despite impossible odds. Why?
Because Kohaku is special. She's special because she has done impossible things before; if anyone can come back to life, its her. More importantly, she's special to him. He cares about her. He believes in her. Kohaku didn't just bring him back to life, she gave him a new reason to live. She became a precious companion and the Poffy Stop they built together with Safia and Shrack became something like a home.

So it doesn't matter how bad things are. It doesn't matter if Kohaku decides to leave his side. It doesn't matter that he's a pathetic bastard filled with regrets. As long as there's a chance Kohaku can live a happy life, he won't. give. up. Not even to fate.

The sequence where Cleo tries to use magic again while saying that he'll live with all he's got and he'll bring Kohaku back no matter what made my spine tingle and my heart beat faster. The whole damn chapter is so powerful: the depths of Cleo's despair only gets lower, but here he is picking himself back up every time, ready to climb out of this pit of darkness with his bare hands. its so good. this whole manga is so fucking good. Nanao Nanaki is so incredibly skilled and I can't imagine the effort it takes to craft a story, heck, a single moment like this. I'm in awe.

thanks for the chapter!! looking forward to the next one, but hope y'all get some rest in the 2 weeks! you deserve it

 

[thirtykei]

He tried so hard and got so far

 

[NickieTheFool]

Man, the author knows what he's doing to make it feel completely hopeless

 

[tehwinged]

I love how absolutely gutwrenching it is when the story goes "Hey, remember these two?" at the end with Safia and Shrike. Imagine their perspective. I wonder if word reached them about what happened before they left for home. Varka was attacked, Kohaku's dead, and Cleo left- on his own- to go and try to revive her. They expect to come home triumphant and find that it's empty. They weren't there for the people they value the most and now he's gone god knows where in grief. Following every lead they can, maybe, hopefully, finding the mercenary who distracted the slavers and getting closer. Finding the bandits who have his horse. The outlook keeps getting bleaker for his survival. How far could he have gone on foot? Saphia's expression when they finally found him. I wonder how much they dreaded the possibility of finding two corpses behind that door. It's so fucking good.

 

[RC1138Boss]

Maybe some hope arrived now. At the very least the three are reunited.

 

[StLL]

thank goodness

yeah, she knows how to drag a character through the rock bottom pits of despair before instantly instilling hope in both that character and the reader with just a single page/revelation. Happened in Helck too =03.

 

[Joker-San]

WOW, that's how you write a MC, not some fancy, OP harem boy but this. This is how it should be !

I don't really remember it being this hopeless in Helck, it feels way more real here
