Death Sweeper (Manga)

Over 150,000 people die each day...
In those deaths we have accidents, murders and even suicides...

Let me ask you, when someone commits a suicide, what goes on in their minds? Have they lost the will to live? Why? Because there's nothing to live for? Questions are bombarded onto us about these people that do commit, but we actually don't think about the deceased do we now?

We can never dig into the mind of the person that wants to die. We can never fully understand them, we can also never tell them they have to live. Life is so fragile that we can kill our selves like that, when we die, our body is left there to rot on the floor... obviously someone will find that body... what do they do with it?

This story tells us the job of a 'sweeper' this person is responsible in cleaning the body and to clean the place up until it looks as if nobody has even died. How could they possible do this kind of job? It's because they know the meaning of death.

The engrossed bodies shown to us as it is decomposing, with great detailed it is added in which shows me how unreal it could be. The horror as the people who witnesses the bodies of the dead, this will of course be inflicted into their minds forever.

The people in this manga are just like us. The way that we might think as well. The author has portrayed these characters very well and i certainly applause this person for showing us the characters feelings very well, it really makes us connect to them.

It's not how i've enjoyed this manga but how i feel about it. It is such a serious topic to deal with if i am being honest here. The mangaka has really thought this story and the art out very well, it's never an easy subject, to talk about death in such serious matters as in a manga is really something that i would have never consider before.

If you are into such horrors that make your toes curl up and heart beat fast which grabs your attention in such a drastic matter i suggest this is a manga that is worth a read. read more

This manga has an original story (about a guy who cleans the apartments after suicides), interesting characters, it`s a little bit disgusting at some moments and contains a bit of dark mature humor that I found irresistible. It was definitely not a waste of time.
