Reviews for Goodbye, Red Beryl Manga

This review contains spoilers. I really understood the conflict of being able to experience the same suffering of being a vampire, and it was heartbreaking, after all, it's the Edo period, so I wonder if you call it you

This review contains spoilers. There are many vampire works, but it's amazing that when Michinoku sensei draws it, it becomes a one-of-a-kind worldview “I've never seen.” I read it all at once because I was worried about the future, the relationships that are gradually revealed, and the tense developments that cannot be predicted until the end. The stage begins in the present day, and the lives of “Akihiko x Kazushige” and “Masato x Morinatsu” are depicted against the backdrop of various eras, such as the 1960s and Edo periods. Another highlight is that the characters have changed their hairstyles, clothes, and atmosphere little by little with each era, and the fact that both Kazushige and Masakado look good in clothes from any era, and is a handsome guy who can be used in any era, is really Michinoku Atami sensei's drawing ability! (Personally, Masakado's cosplay-like beauty is amazing) Personally, if I had to name something that I found particularly appealing... the vampire scene is just so sexy! (Love scenes too, of course!) ・All the characters are good-looking men ・There are sad scenes, but for the most part, they have happy endings・"Is immortality really happy?” It also makes me think about the philosophical question. Akihiko, who grew up in a facility and lived alone, and Kazushige, who became lonely by becoming a vampire while building a happy family. Although the two lonely people met fatefully, Kazushige doesn't want Akihiko to be in the same situation as himself, and he can't prepare to take care of Akihiko's end, so he tries to keep Akihiko away at least once. If you think about Kazushige's deep sense of loss, who has eternal life, who had to take care of not only his wife but also his daughter who is dying of old age, the feeling of rejecting Akihiko is understandable, isn't it? However, Kazushige's feelings gradually changed due to Akihiko's strong feelings, and Kazushige made a big decision in the wake of an accident. “Red Beryl,” which is a gemstone, also seems to have the meaning of “going straight along the path once decided,” and although the decisions Kazushige made may go against his beliefs up until now, I felt that the message “there are things that are more important than beliefs” is contained in the title “Goodbye to Red Beryl.” In fact, I think the most proof that the decision was correct is that Kazushige seems happy after making that decision, just as Kazushige's daughter wished “dad be happy” right now. Masakado, who seemed like a bad guy at first, cares that Kazushige can live a life without loneliness, and that he dotes on Moronatsu is also a great point.

This review contains spoilers. Tsuda, who is turned into a vampire regardless of his own will and continues to live alone after leaving his family behind, and Kobayashi, who grew up in a facility and believes the director's words and lives positively, doesn't go well. Their lives are changed when Kobayashi's life was saved by Tsuda. It's a wonderful story that tells me how happy it is to be cherished or needed by someone.

This review contains spoilers. The picture was beautiful and I was attracted to the cover. The story was so funny that I cried at the end. I'm glad the ending made the two of them happy.
