Synopsis

They wanted to die for their own reasons.

Juri Mutou is the daughter of a once-famous pianist whose career came to an end after giving birth to her. After a traumatic event she experienced as a teenager, Juri has attempted suicide three times and has come to hate her mother. With her life clouded due to a dark past, her aunt Monica, a member of the clergy, invites her to visit a convict sentenced to death.

Yuu is a death row inmate charged with murdering three people, leading to many attempts at ending his own life within his jail cell. He frequently receives letters from Monica, who hopes to help him, but sees this as an act of pity. But when Yuu decides to meet Monica to say that he wants her to stop sending letters, he encounters Juri, a meeting that would change both of their lives.

I've never written a review for any work of art, be it movies, music, video games, comics, books, anything.. but reading this made me want to write how I felt about it and share it here. Even if no one ever reads this, I'll feel better having written down my feelings and thoughts about this manga.

I'm new to anime and manga. So far, this whole world of media has connected with me in ways no other modes ever have. Anime and manga storied have made me feel things I didn't know anything other than real life could- Care for characters, being seriously invested in them ...

Story – 5/10
The premise is incredibly simple but quite interesting: two different persons tried to commit suicide; one of them is on death row, and the other one is the daughter of a pianist. Although their stories are somewhat relatable – unfortunately – they both play the tune of two archetypal characters in an all too foreseeable story. The story plays out in meetings ...

Generic/cliche story and characters trying to hide under pretty words, slight philosophy and mainstream sugar coated darkness. Complete with same old formulated, generic/cliche, eye rolling “sympathize with me”/”like me!!!!” scenes, some of which really hurt identity of key characters and the story.

Tired/predictable story formula:
Suicidal girl meets “him” > you know what happens > you know what happens > you know what happens > end. In between, skippable/unimportant/boring dialogue and drawn out events to force the story into the next stage of the formulated story…well most of the time anyways. The surprises aren't worth reading the whole story.
The ending was decent tough, somewhat beautiful but ...
