Shoulder-a-Coffin Kuro

review 1: Shoulder-a-Coffin Kuro is such a cute manga. The artwork is beautiful, and the characters are so cute! I absolutely recommend it. The storyline was even more interesting, since the reader starts to learn more and more about Kuro and Sen's determination to travel and find a certain witch. You also start to learn more about Kuro's condition and why she's in such a hurry to find the witch. I could not put this book down and when I finished it, I read it again! Very cute book and they NEED to have the third volume out soon!
review 2: This manga has surprised me a few times as I've been reading it. When I first picked it up, I expected it to be a bit more macabre and dramatic, but it turned out to be cute and light-hearted. Then I thought it was just a straight-fo... morerward sort of comic, but as I read it turned out to have shades of really deep metaphors. Now, as I continue to read it, the metaphors keep getting more pronounced and the story is not nearly as light-hearted as I thought; or rather, it remains light-hearted, but the subject matter and imagery becomes darker, so that one almost feels as if the story itself is a bit jaded and world-weary, unsurprised by things like, people hanging from trees, a little girls legs rotting off as she walks. Death is portrayed as neither good nor bad, just something that happens, and from the innocent perspective of a child, it makes it all the sadder because the children who narrated don't seem to know how sad death is supposed to be, because death is something they seem always to have known. The two little cat girls in particular are heartwarming and tragic, the way they speak so fondly of their time chained in the dungeon, and the mad scientist who created them and put them there; there's nothing dark or dramatic about it, which makes it all the more dramatic for the reader to fathom. There is something really beautiful about this story, even though its kind of slow and skips around a lot and the plot never seems to progress. I feel like there's a big lesson lurking under the more obvious life lessons in the story, and I should definitely keep reading so I can find out what it is; so I'm excited to read the next book when it becomes available! I hope it's soon! less
