I’m not sure why it is that whenever I chose a manga at random I seem to end up with something creepy and/or gory. Suffice to say Skyhigh, despite its somewhat misleading name, is probably the most gothic of gothic horrors I’ve come across since… er… Goth. Then again, seeing as it comes from the pen of the same mangaka who gave us “Alive”, "Blue Heaven" and "Jiraishin" maybe I shouldn’t be surprised.

The ten stand-alone stories that make up the two volumes essentially focus on the particular character’s death, events leading up to it and the choice they make upon meeting Izuko. Seeing as they’re read more

You are dead. Now, you have three options: accept your death and go to heaven, don’t accept it and stay as a ghost, and one more… haunt and kill someone in the world, but if you kill someone you will go straight to hell, and your suffering will never end. These options are presented by the long dark haired Izuko, the guardian of the gate for the murdered ones.

The art is creepy and far from what we consider a typical manga style - the brushes are blurred, the contrast between black and white is elevated to the maximum, read more

What do people do when they live and how do they face their death? Will you be able to tell that you've lived a fruitful life on our deathbed? These are only few questions which bring up those mangas. Even though plot and characters are completely different to each manga, questions and problems that face their characters are pretty the same. In the end they all have to decide - to forgive or to take a revenge on someone. In Dead End the main hero gradually moves toward his final decision and in Skyhigh we witness many people trying to solve this problem. One more thing to put them together is a common art. Somehow Manabe developed his style towards Takahashi's mussy ink drawings.

Both manga are mostly episodic and are about someone choosing whether to take revenge on someone they hate or not.
