Saw it on twitter, looks interesting! hopefully a team picks it up one day

 

[Moodyz]

Yeah, this looks good. Hope it gets picked up by a competent scanlation group/team soon.

This recently ended at chapter 4 and the collected digital volume is due out in early January. I plan on working on it at that time. This is a very hard hitting title with suicide trigger so reader discretion is well advised. But the story has merit for those who are considering suicide and those whose loved ones have struggled with it, or have gone through it.

Update 1/8/20: Chapter 1 almost done. Be up in a day or so.

I was put off by the, uh, thumbnail for this manga, because of the way her eyes look. But the art is really fantastic and super expressive! It fits the mood and theme.

@ThePaulBunyanTrophy: the fact that you put in the US National suicide prevention hotline in the description makes me happy. I clicked on this for the thumbnail and probably won't be reading this now that I've read the description, but I appreciate that you took this on and treat it with sensitivity.

I guess its only fitting that I'm listing to Mac Miller's Good News while reading this.

Reminds me of the loss of a dear friend years ago. So. Many. Regrets. No matter how angry you might be at someone you love, always tell them goodbye when you part. Let them know you still care, even if it is something as simple as not leaving them "on read" without a tiny response.

 

[Puzzled]

Thank you for translating this, it is a difficult read but I am grateful for it. A subject close to the hearts of too many people, far too many it seems.

Fuck man, that was really raw and powerful
Shit, that was a real punch in the gut. Anyway, it reminds me of this song

Smoking cheap weed sipping on cheap vodka
You pick your poison down Davy Jones’ locker
It’s rum we be wanting
By the tons my consumption
Take a look at my lungs and my liver
It’s disgusting
Take a look at the man in the mirror
We start fussing
Only one person gets hurt when throwing the punches
Me
And the man behind the glass just laughs
The waves come over my head and just crash
My hand start bleeding water starts receeding
A feeling comes into my heart I start believing that
I actually might survive through the evening
Survive on my own thoughts of suicide that’s competing
With thoughts of tryna stay alive which been weakened
By the feeling of putting on a smile while being beaten
The fear of drowning still diving in the deep end
The waters carried me so far you can’t reach ‘em
And it feels like there’s no one

And no one’s in the lighthouse
You’re face down in the ocean
And no one’s in the lighthouse
And it seems like you just screamed
It’s no one there to hear the sound
And it may feel like there’s no one there
That cares if you drown
Face down in the ocean

That was breathtaking ಥ╭╮ಥ

 

[BCS]

Surprisingly comedic given the story.

And maybe instead of suicide prevention hotline you should have linked to child protection services, yeah?

 

[Zhou]

There is a one-shot included with this volume. Are you gonna do that one too or leave it? And thanks for this volume.

 

[ThePaulBunyanTrophy]

@Zhou

I doubt it, so far as it's completely unrelated to this story. I did skim through it though but it still didn't really draw me in.

 

[jmbut]

huh

 

[beeqwop]

Ah shit I cried the whole way through.

 

[bootybutts]

movie when?

 

[Panino]

It's past midnight now, better not to read this before going to sleep.
