so a-ko ended up committing suicide herself. The way the author wrote this, it seemed weirdly close to home as if they themselves had some sort of simliar experience.

Nice one shot

 

[Lynkaster]

not specially sad, but depressing... *sigh*

 

[That-Guy]

3 am’s a good time to be depressed.

Spoiler

Similar to A-ko, I knew someone who was as eccentric and poetic as her. But now that I look back, she was neither. Once you’re with someone long enough, you’ll eventually see the world through their eyes and find that they’re actually simple and honest.
The only thing I still regret is not being able to say the right words she wanted or needed to hear. Not that I’d know what those were.

I’m gonna go back to sleep.

 

[Midoriha]

Call me dumb but I didn't quite understand what leatherman was trying to say, or explain.
Is it that A-ko knew where and when to said "No" and doesn't let herself get carried by the flow of things, or that of other people?

 

[GrindEnfant]

"A-ko would often say poetic things" yeah right, more like random shitty quotes.

 

[SightWarden]

"an exhibitionist man in turtle shell bondage saved me"

is my life so boring I have never been approached by a crossdresser only to be saved by a person in bondage? I think I need to reevaluate my life

 

[r4ttlesnake]

This oneshot doesn't deliver any meaningful message of measurable depth whatsoever.
Oneshots are already weak in the developmental side, so this one came out rather bland.
Meh.

 

[semicharmed]

It's time for depressing hours.

 

[sukaley]

I don't think it's supposed to deliver some grand message about life; it's just about a girl who inspired the mangaka to be the artist she is today, and she finally felt ready to tell that story (maybe with some liberties added?). I think she wrote it intentionally in a way to show the naivety and innocence of both A-ko and her younger self, searching for some poetic meaning in life when in actuality it was just a sad, unfortunate situation.

 

[greatninja3]

@Hamin well it was mentioned this was based on author's experience

I assume A-ko is just an acronym of the real name of the person like saying person A instead of the real name

 

[blurgh123]

The story moved lightning fast, but then the last page reveals that this is based on the author's own experiences. Wow! I can't imagine ever experiencing something like that myself.

 

[Kuroikigai2]

Damn, i loved kuzu no honkai and im just now reading the authors other work. All her mangas are very personal. I hope she releases more stuff

 

[Robinisback]

Man, How Traumatic it would have been for Her, If She Wouldn't have met A-ko , She wouldn't have have been the Mangaka she is now.
