Life sucks, why don't you kill yourself?
Except, here's a cute broken girl that you can exert your savior's complex on, and chooses to die with you!

This manga is serious cope. I don't understand how people like it so much. None of you are going find a girl that is going to be attracted to an unemployed, underemployed, low paying job loser and 'save you'.

Its the same as Welcome to the NHK, you are not going to be saved. No one is going to appear before you to save you.

(There’s a saying that “only death cures a fool,” but I have a more optimistic look on the subject. I think it should be “A fool will be cured before his death.”
Of course, you can’t just say “fool,” because there are many varieties of fool, but when I use the word, I refer to the people who create their own hell. One of the features of such individuals, for example, would be that they are strongly convinced they can never be happy. When their condition worsens, this view expands into “I am not meant to be happy,” until they are deluded into the final self-destructive idea: “I do not want to be happy.”
At this point, they have nothing to hold them back. They are experts in the means of becoming miserable, and no matter how fortunate their circumstances are, they will always find a way out and skillfully evade any kind of happiness. Because this entire mental process is happening subconsciously, they think everything about the world is hell—but the truth is that they are turning wherever they go into their own personal hell instead.
I can say with authority, as one of those hell-creators myself, that these people are not easily cured. When misery is part of your identity, then not being miserable means not being yourself. The act of self-pity, meant to help you bear your unhappiness, becomes its own form of pleasure, and you will eventually seek out unhappiness so that you can indulge in it.
But as I wrote above, I think these fools are cured before they die. Or to be more precise, I think they find that cure right before death. The lucky ones might have an opportunity to fix themselves before it gets to that point, but even the unlucky ones, when they intuitively sense that their death is unavoidable, when they are finally free of the shackles of the compulsion to go on living—they are at last liberated from this type of foolishness.
I said my view was an optimistic one, but thinking about it again, I suppose you could also say it’s quite pessimistic. After all, the moment they finally learn to love the world is the moment they know they are soon to leave it.
But I think that to those people whose foolishness is cured after it’s too late for anything else, the world must be such a beautiful place that none of it matters to them. The deeper the regrets and lamentations, such as “I’ve been living in this exquisite world all this time?” and “But now I finally know how to accept my life for what it is,” the more cruelly alluring it must be.
I’ve always wanted to write about that kind of beauty. As a matter of fact, I have no intention of expounding upon things like the value of life or the power of love, whether through Three Days of Happiness or another book. None.)

Well that's what author thinks, take it or leave it

It's a good read with a satisfying ending. If you can't understand that much then I'm not really surprised with your post, or maybe is this an April fools joke?

I have free time earlier so I read this manga and it was good so thats all that matters. Maybe if you're the one reading it then yes it will be a cope for a sad guy with overflowing sadness that you need to make a hate thread, please understand that not everyone is so miserable that everything is a cope.

Fiction is any creative work, chiefly any narrative work, portraying people, events, or places in ways that are imaginary, or not strictly based on history or fact. In its most narrow usage, fiction applies to written narratives in prose and often specifically novels, as well as novellas and short stories.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiction

I don't know why you're trying to compare realistic things to fiction, all in all it was honestly a good story

"Only one with the courage
to shoulder the burden
of their own fate can
be called a hero.."

almost every story is a wish fulfillment, you watch action story to feel as badass as you never could, you watch adventure to explore the world you could only imagine, you watch horror to feel danger in your safety world.
This is the whole point of an entertainment, what else you think it is? if you want reality just go outside or read non-fiction books.

@likepanda wish fulfillment is definitely not the same as entertainment, a story doesn't need to deal with stuff i'd want in my life to be interesting, it just need to be compelling, have interesting characters and engaging storyline and exciting development.

----------------

Reading manga like this annoys me, the only thing good about it is the concept, author was either not skilled/confident enough to pull it off or just never had any interest in actually developing the idea into a cohesive story with themes, believable characters, decisions, emotional arc and a fulfilling resolution.

It reminds me of I want to Eat your Pancreas, it fails in kind of similar fashion, Sayonara Eri is a good way to develop a story/characters like this.
