High five to my fellow Professional Crazy Person. Went to work one day, and after a little while just... checked out. Apparently I stared at my blank monitor without moving for hours. Been just over a decade since, and I am just now starting to get to what I would consider "normal".

Keep up the good fight, you're worth it!

I was working at a factory job and yeah, checked out, tried walking in front of a forklift and had my life saved by one of the junkies I worked with. When I came back to my senses I had a full meltdown and was deemed unfit to work. I realize now that in the moment I fully intended to end it all.

Lost my friends because you need money to hang out, lost my family because you need to have work to have value, lost myself because I found myself isolated from everything that was keeping me together.

Life is weird.

I think Tsuzuki is right... Konpeito can only read the emotions that are strong, there is simply no way, people are constantly strung up as she says they are, it simply is not possible... but as a empath with a fragile mind, she became too accustomed to her own reality, and as a mage, her reflection of that reality has a deep effect on her.

It is like Konpeito suffers from a swaying hyper case of burnout, at a point she is entirely able to relate, connect, and work, but then... she just shuts down, coupled with the fact that it became an extremaly powerful memory erasure spell... it keeps her on a vicious loop.

Mushiro has an unbreakable poker face, but she clearly cares a lot.

Only 4 more chapters... man... I will miss this one, I don't remember the last story that had the same wondrous and laid back feel good as this one has... wait... I think the last one I felt this was with Aqua and Aria, the story about women gondoliers in Mars... yeah, that was a special story, highly recommend it.

Fuck... I went to see when they were published... it was in 2001 and 2002, when i read Aria (the continuation of Aqua), it still was being published, but even then... I am old, I just gave EMOTIONAL DAMAGE to myself 😭.

I suspect a major factor here is also the mortality of your everyday human versus the potential eternity that mages like Konpeito have. When you only have so much time in a day, every week, to make the most of your year as you trudge through the throes of life from education to career to family(?), there's always something to do. It may be comparatively alien for them, to have the same degree of urgency that everyday humans have... and many humans who've fallen off that track likely stay at home out of her reach.

But even then, the other mages are all different from her too. I imagine her specialization in memory magic has allowed her to always exit at the first sign of distress and never be forced to handle these issues long-term. The fact that she is now in a position to, thanks to the quirks of human repository magic, is wonderful for her.

This manga's well on the road to making it to my exclusive Perfect Gems MDList.

 

[omnistraight]

ah. this one broke me.

"I meet all kinds of people, get to know them, become friends with them, enjoy my life for a bit, and then, like a switch's been flipped... I just can't anymore."

this happens every few years for me if I'm lucky (every few months when I'm not). can't erase other's memories, so it all just rots into other's resentment (not that i don't deserve it). shrink diagnosed me with 'clinical depression' as a kid but there's no out for 'insanity leave' where i'm at. just stints of being a 'star student/friend/worker' smashed against stints of being a 'fuck-up/loser'. i keep lookin for somethin or someone the way everyone else seems have somethin or someone, but i cant find anythin i dont come to abandon eventually.

feels weird to dump all that here, lol. just glad someone gets it, i guess. gonna take Konpeito's cue and go have a nap about it.

This has become one of my favourite mangas.

charecters , world building , pacing , enjoyment, mystery / unknown factor, art Everything is great

Good quality tl also is a huge factor

But with only 4 chapters remaining it might just get axed ending

the ending is not an axed ending, don't worry. 40-end are all one long arc, which gives more than enough to get to a good end.

i love you konpeito

Meiten Restaurant is also pretty good (though maybe not quite as much as this one).

Based pfp. My favorite character too. This is such an amazing manga, I can't believe I had it left on my To-Read for years. But hey, I got to binge read, so who am I to complain? Thanks a metric ton for the tl!

I will give it a try.

Thanks for the suggestion.
