The story is about a immortal called Uratarou who is trying to die and a mortal named Chiyo who is trying to become immortal and they embark on a journey so they can both fulfill their dreams together. From here we spend 50 chapters exploring Japan hundreds of years ago and meet so many unique and interesting characters. The art in this story is also gorgeous, it’s one of the most visually interesting and unique stories I’ve seen in manga, so much so that it almost motivated me to go and draw in the style of it, that’s how good it is. The Art is the only thing that stayed amazing throughout though. Interesting themes such as what it means to live and what it is like to be immortal and the suffering that you would go through are a key focus of the story but sadly don’t matter in the end because it was axed so these interesting themes mean nothing.
In conclusion, the manga was axed was if you want to read a story with basically only 30 chapters of actual storytelling with phenomal art that ultimately doesn’t matter in the end then go ahead but I really don’t advise it.
