Never really understood the whole "being immortal is terrible" as if you couldn't find things to do and people to love being immortal for thousands of years.
lol- are you kidding? Im sure you could find things to do.. for so long.. then the same things over and over and over endlessly.. Till how f$%king sick of them would you be? Immortality WOULD obviously be the worst possible curse imaginable. Not seeing that is thinking too superficially on it.
BUT- I will give you, that most of the time, there is no reason to see most types of immortality that way. Vampirism certainly isnt normally seen in that way. Because most types of immortality are NOT real imortality (like what kaguya and mokou in touhou seem to have) most types are just no longer aging or dying of disease etc and being strong/immune to lots of stuff- but NOT unkillable.
Any type of 'imortality' where you could actually end it once you got sick of living - yeah- most people can see the appeal of being able to live as long as you wanted.
But in this story she did seem to be saying she couldnt die.. who knows if thats true? I doubt she has tried many methods.
TRUE immortality you had NO way out of- id not wish on my worst enemy.
If you lived long enough you could make peace when any situation, immortality would rule tbh
I felt like the bath scene was reeeeeally forced, like how she just literally barged into the bath without being embarrassed when like seconds ago she was embarrassed for mixing up personal/bath house socialising times. And the boob groping? Like it felt way out of character
I liked the set up for them having a sleepover but this just kind of went to an odd place that doesn’t fit the tone of the previous chapters. Like yeah I want them to be gay but make it make sense yknow
Sasameki Koto is a classic and all but I think I actually like this series better. All the sharp observations of relationships and slice of life comf, much less of the over-the-top Rumiko Takihashi slapstick / misunderstanding vibes.
Sasameki Koto was torture for me. I actually dropped it about 20 chapters in because I thought nothing would ever happen. I'm glad I thought of it again after it had finished and looked it up, but I couldn't have handled reading the thing as it was released.
That manga just has no sense of narrative flow, everything is either gruelingly slow or happening to fast to keep track of.
This manga on the other hand always makes me smile
I'm not sure battan's writing style is ideal with this kind of genre. Like they excel at writing intense, realistic, complicated emotions, that it makes this seem uncomfortably real.
It’s almost like thats the point, plenty of stories are written not intending for you to feel comfortable reading them
