Synopsis

After death, another gate opens for victims of unspeakable crimes, terrible accidents, and hellish lives. The Gate of Grudges is guarded by a lady named Izuko, who offers those that enter three options: to accept their death and ascend to Heaven, to remain on Earth as a ghost, or to haunt and kill someone. While the last option is appealing to most, the moral implications of their actions will cost them an eternity of damnation in Hell. As each victim has 12 days to weigh their options, Izuko is there to guide them to a decision they will not regret.

CHARACTER - 7
Characters are pretty unique although their stories may be a bit rushed or kind of poorly developed.

Tsutomu Takahashi is an extremely underrated mangaka. His works have only the smallest of niche followings in the west. This is in spite of the fact that not only did he mentor Tsutomu Nihei (who is much more famous than he is), he has produced a very large body of work over the years; unlike some artists who stagnate, relying on their old franchises and/or having any new projects be very underwhelming, Takahashi has arguably only gotten better and better over time.

Skyhigh is a short story anthology that focuses on people who were murdered or who have lingering feelings of resentment. The Guardian of the ...

Spoiler
Non-spoiler part of review: Skyhigh is a short manga, so it is worth it to read since it ends quickly but recomended in the sense of being essential or worth it for the quality? No.

The story is episodic, following what the characters will decide after their deaths (following what is presented in the synopsis already) and their reasons. It is a type of story that is known for being told by jogoku shoujo, which by itself is good since it has the potential to make up for a good manga or anime. However, what makes Skyhigh very supbar and lackluster is how unintentionally dull ...
