| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- I love Asano's mangas even though they depressed me. 8/10 |
 |
| That two-page spread was really good. |
| This manga was better than I expected, the short stories were all connected and there was an actual conclusion, even though the chapters varied a lot in quality. 8/10 |
 |
| I think that the final words, "as long as you're alive, something good is bound to happen", encompasses what 'What a Wonderful World' is all about. We all have our own problems in life, some more severe than others, but as long as we keep on living we'll eventually find that light at the end of the tunnel. It's a pretty dark manga, but it has enough moments of optimism that it doesn't feel inaccessible. Just like 'Nijigahara Holograph', the only other work I've read from Asano, it has that style of story telling where early chapters reference later chapters, and that the characters are all interconnected in some way. Unlike Holograph, though, 'What a Wonderful World' is actually quite accessible. A solid 8/10 from me. |

| Really really liked this manga. Asano always leaves me with a bittersweet feeling when I finish one of his works. That last line is killer even though it's so simple. |

| Some of the stories were better than others, but overall a very good package. Same themes as present in other Asano works, especially in Solanin, but with numerous shorter stories instead of a single person narrative. I loved the the stories connected together in one way or another, really emphasized the idea that we all have our own problems, even if it may not seem like it from the outside. The supernatural elements were perhaps a bit too big in this particular manga, I prefer when Asano focuses more on realistic stories. It also felt a bit more unrefined in art, probably because it's one of his earlier works - or maybe the scans were just bad. A solid 8/10. |

| damn the typical inio ending with a broken heart fuck this and still loved everything about this manga even the ending |

I think I'll try harder now. Maybe I can still manage to do something. |
| Beautifully sad manga- very thought-provoking. I loved it! |
 |
| I really like these more mellow stories from inio. It got me to think about a lot of things, sad things particularly but all the more thought provoking 9/10 |
| "The time when you are happy is also the time when you're afraid that the happiness will end." |
| “Life is a constant process of dying.” |
| Eh, it was alright. Didn’t really grab me though. |
