I wonder who would honestly read this with those tags (I didn't by the way). Just contemplating what it takes to enjoy something like that.

I saw the tags and haven't read it. Came to the comments to see what's the deal with it, but I haven't gotten a clue yet. It's just people saying it's sad.

Hina and Sayo are a cat and dog, respectively, but Sayo dies and Hina’s like “why isn’t she moving?” and “Why is she so cold now?” and it’s sad

I think the part 1 was the cat’s first time meeting the dog while the cat was in a cone. Idk can’t read Japanese.

Depression helps. Not being sarcastic. Reading depressing shit when I'm depressed is akin to listening to sad songs for me. Gotta be like that for others too.

Somehow I doubt that reading depressing things helps depressed people.

Considering that I am a depressed person--I've lived with chronic depression/bipolar II for over 30 years--and seeing/listening to sad things can often help, I would say that this is inaccurate. Consuming things that are sad seem to help by virtue of giving me something to "actually be sad about", rather than just the never-ending blah of depression that is my life.

It's nothing that paralyzes you, it's an innocent story that just has a sad ending
It's not the world sucks now there is no happiness everything is a lie kind of story, just a story without a happily ever after

And I don't think it's fair in any way to compare this to sewage water, this isn't detrimental/toxic to mental health as sewage water is for physical health

I can somewhat guess what this story was about and I think causing unecessary grief without relief is a bad thing in itself. Every writer treats this differently, but tragedy without a glimmer of hope is pointless to me.

Well you know best what works for you of course. It does sound like you just need a distraction though, no matter what emotion it is about. At least that's what most depressed people I know do.

Naturally fiction should provoke all emotions, including sadness. But without a pay off or relief the consequence is just feeling shitty.

What the shit

saw the tags, still read it, now im really sad

AAAAA

eh, it wasn't very good.

K.

This is so sad :'(

Also where is part 1?

Sadly this happens in real life too...

WOWOWOWOW U JUST WANNA MAKE ME SOB

What the fuck man

EXTREME SOBBING NOISES

TIME FOR A FEELS TRIP!

What the hell man. Who makes shit like this?

I read the comments before reading this and built it all up in my head. Then I read the manga and laughed.

Am I a bad person?

It's quite normal to deal with stuff like that differently. Your mind reflexively reacts with laughter and playing down the issue. It's texbook escapism, but that's not a bad thing. By disassociating your emotions from the matter you avoid getting hurt. You should be happy you can do that.

My sister never loved me TwT

So this brings up an interesting question, why do we have aaaaangst, depressing as fuck and tragedy tags? It's a bit like having joyous, happy and felicitous tags. I mean aren't these all saying pretty much the exact same thing?

tragedy is a genre, and angst and depression are different. an angsty teenager isn't necessarily sad.

Why did i read this :(

First I read the comments and prepared myself. Now I regret reading it. It's nothing but pure sadness.
