Why do you think you avoid contact? Because it's annoying and takes up time. Don't insert yourself into the story of their brooding and misery. Just let it all just flow over you without affecting you, because it's just a job, and there's already going to be a next one. There's a reason only certain people can take jobs like handling the dead.

Sure it reasonable to be piss off at customer like that... but what will it result to beside more stress, rage and antagonism to you (and it already more than enough) : ))

Reasonable crashout.
Do people just normally start blaming murder on the ones who just retrieve corpses?
I don't think people start screaming at the morgue workers when they confirm a body.
Kind of fucking stupid.

Oh, but it makes sense to be pissed off when the dude is all happy talking about the corpse of your loved one but it's something else entirely when you blame him for his death.

Okay, this week I posted two chapters instead of the one weekly I intended. So there won't be a chapter next week, (I've also yet to redraw it).
The problem is Volume 1 only consist of 4 chapters, and while I know there are raws currently up to chapter 7, the ones on Kurage Bunch websites titling are not the same as the one in the tankobon (which is what I'm following).

So, idk if to continue first or wait for Volume 2 to come out.

I think the one thing that annoy me the most about this guy is how he feels directionless. He has a goal but nothing ever done to it instead the corpse bearer aspect (which the most interesting part of this) feels like a side quest rather than things that have relation to it.

If the quality is better then it’s worth the wait.
Maybe stretch out the volume until the next one drops, or just release weekly

There's no stretching out, the last chapter of volume 1 is chapter 4... My problem is the way the web raws are titled isn't the same as the tankobon, its kind of messy. Even if i drop it weekly (which was my plan anyhow, hence why i say no update next week since I dropped two this week) I will catch up in no time (since there's only a total of 7 chapters in existence atm)

Dude being used as a pipeline to show the nuances of being Corpse Bearer in this series gets a tad annoying after a while.

I think the problem isn't him being a pipeline, but rather he's annoying useless liability.

All the problems in this chapter was caused by him.
Being unprepared to grab the corpse, resulting in getting himself bitten and Nemu had to save his ass (if he'd grab it first THEN not having free hand to fight back, it'd make more sense)
Being unable to shut up in front of a grieving person, had to 'whine' about the trouble they went through so Nemu had to drag his ass off.
That "I'd get angry for your sake" scene just doesn't feel right when the client didn't even do anything to Nemu here.

The protagonist's flailing incompetence is really getting on my nerves. Presenting characters that know as much as the audience does about a setting never makes sense because they've been living in the setting their whole lives! Get your act together buddy.

I appreciate that the guy is advocating for Nemu / corpse bearers to be treated with some humanity. He's a bit too peppy for this job, but he's bringing a bit of balance to a situation where someone feels like being treated like garbage for doing their job is part of their job (which it's not).

...unless the clients pay the extra "treat me like crap" surcharge, which is +200%.

Tbh, when I first read Dungeon Meshi, I found Marcille to be utmost annoying. But slowly she stop bitching about the food so much. So, I would say Garen is the same type of character design. What should be volume 2 chapters will introduce
a new companion. So that will offset Garen's character. But he does stop being so goddamn annoying. Promise
