It's way too gross and depressing (and this is coming from someone who enjoyed Rumiko's "Mermaid" saga!)

Dropped.

I wish I could bleach it out of my memory. Yuck! ;__;

This manga's summary in a few words...

The manga is absolutely amazing and really should've finished after chapter 116. After that, the arc does not take itself seriously and turns into some trash violent lolicon b.s. I regret wasting my time reading the manga for it to end up like this.

The only troupe you can find in this manga is about an immortal who never ages. The story revolves around his journey through time and his interaction with the ever changing world around him, so the plot can feel random at times. It can either be bitter sweet, laidback, action filled, or it can even turn dark suddenly without any warning.

It's one of the few manga about death and incarnation done right out there.

This is probably one of my all time favorite manga. It's has such a moving story and is completely original. I am constantly impressed by the flow of the story. It started off with a little bit of repetitiveness in the plot however it quickly sheds that and the story starts to truly kick off. I can't wait until the anime comes out, I have such high hopes for it.

but the current arc with the prince is kinda meh. too shounen like

This story is... different. It follows 0 troupes. Just like the other review said, it is existential and tragic. It does not have a normal plot with hero, villain and side characters. So, if you look for fulfillement, I do not think this manga is for you.

Now, for what I think of it, this story honestly made me cry several time. I also find it in a way unpredictable and mysterious. I think it follows the life of a mysterious being, and the growth of this being is beautiful.

Whenver I finish a chapter, I feel like I had been in a whole different world.
Man I really am bad with words. I just... find it sublime.

51 chapters in and we still don't know why anything happens in this story. There's a god-like creator that occasionally phases into being, talks to the MC, and we still don't know the plot. This wouldn't be be a death sentence on it's own, but there aren't any likeable characters remaining for me to actually care.

This manga can pull some really strong emotions out of you, and it's a good story to boot. Wrote a review on it trying to pitch it to the hesitant. Only criticism is that the premise might make the regularly inevitable tragedy less impactful.

Even though not many chapters have been out yet, you can see the pattern of this manga: immortal being meets an innocent, kind-hearted person with hopes and dreams for the future, that person dies in an emotional setting, the immortal being takes that person's form and continues its journey. I'm not saying that the story isn't interesting and engaging, I just think that the mangaka uses the tragic element way too much and in the same way every time. It's still early on in the story, but you can't help but notice a repetitive theme in every arc so far.
