I liked it. Idk why but yea. Kinda reminded me of hell girl in a way cept just not voodoo dolls and stuff

Yes, this is my shit. immediately begins thinking about how I can turn it into a D&D adventure

I liked the artwork, the skeleton part of the hand which is black is very cool, and as mentioned above, the concept does remind hell girl.

Well this was interesting. I'd like to see more of it.

i get it... i dun get it

Neat visuals, but the story tried to do too much in too short of a time, and thus didn't have much emotional impact

The more original fantasy drama Yuri there is the happier I am.

So this is what I understand so far:
- Detective Death is a demon from hell.
- Her sidekick is an artificial humanoid, a "wax doll" manufactured by demons. She isn't considered a "real person" by the demons.
- DD and Wax Doll somehow fell in love and began a torrid love affair.
- They were found out and all hell broke loose (pun intended).
- They ran together and now they live on Earth, and DD works as a hitman for hire: she kills "bad people" in exchange for a part of the lifeforce of her customers.
- She needs the lifeforce to keep Wax Doll alive. Well, "animated" may be a better word.

Did I got everything right?

hmm.. not sure how i feel about this. honestly? i would be more interested in a story about "detective death" and the human girl. as it is there was like no development or reason for me to care about her and the candle disposal girl. kinda fell flat

"Wax doll" doesn't have to be literal. As it seems humans all have a metaphorical "wax" to represent lifeforce. The "wax doll" could just be a normal human, replenishing her "candle" with the "candles" of other humans.

Although minor, I believe Detective Death isn't a demon from Hell, but rather an Angel of Death. We don't know from where they came originally, but it is apparent Earth isn't the plane they are native to. It could be Heaven, Hell or some other plane of existence that is likely a part of the hereafter.

Makes me think of Hell Girl, which I both liked and did not like.

Actually a really interesting plot, though a bit short maybe?

Reminds me of that one manga on here where that girl has to keep killing people to buy time for her lover...

Edit: It's even closer to Mugen no Minamo Ni than I remember, on the off chance anyone was wondering...

The collection this is from is specifically "non-human x non-human." That still doesn't mean the "wax doll" is literally artificial (she could just be a lower class of outsider), but she's definitely not human.

Cool concepts/protagonists... let’s see where this goes.

Artwork is stunningly good.

-looks at the title of the anthology- Why am I so happy right now? TuT

Yuri Hell Gals by Shin Takekawa.
Take my soul,D'arby.

idk why but it kindda remind me of xxxHolic.

Shinigami, right? I got the same vibe from her, a reaper of souls rather than a demon
In manga normally you tell them apart cos ones carry a scythe and the others have horns and bat wings, but Detective Death for now looks like neither so we can't tell for sure
If she's ever forced to assume her true no-human form, we will know which it is

Actually a really interesting plot, though a bit short maybe?

An idea I just had: it could be a oneshot, not a 1st chp. of a series :(

That's cos the title has 'anthology' in it (Vanilla Jingai x Jingai Yuri Anthology) which normally is used for many short stories collected in one book, so perhaps this one story won't go for much longer

This could be really interesting as a full series.

Hell girl but with yuri plot

Without seeing the original text there is no way to know for sure, but I would put the safe money on her originally being described as a Shinigami which usually gets translated into English as Death God, Death Spirit, Grim Reaper, Angel of Death, etc. Something that has a divine connotation more so than a demonic one.

Don’t tell me there’s more...
There’s only so much I can candle

Basically why I don't really like supernatural mangas. Most of the time they lack plot. It wasn't romantic, nor scary, it was bland.
