I actually liked the regret part and repeating of the death, the other part being the butler did it was predictable but funny.
The fighting scenes were well made and i liked his desperation when he killed each and every one of them.

Anyone know the Author/s i would be interested to check if they have done other manga's/one shots.

This was an interesting one-shot, in a sense the mangaka explained why ghosts exist if you catch my drift. I rather liked the art and everything. I wonder how things would work out between Jean and that girl in their next life.

Also that disembodied voice, I wonder what those were as well.

This story has serialization written all over it. It reminded me of Yumekui Kenbun (Nightmare Inspector) in a big way. YK(NI) is about a dream eater who eats nightmares and helps people overcome regret and sorrow in their lives.

I liked it. It was interesting and not too common (for me but other people might think the plot has been overused).It was very good for an one shot. d(^^)b

I loved it. A very interesting and enjoyable one shot. Great art, too.
The butler part was a bit too predictable, but everything else was really good.
And cleaver boy ftw. :-P

Excellent one shot.

Action, the macabre and mysterious, and a fine message about struggling onwards. One of the best ones I've read, even. Great final panel.

I absolutely loved this, and would totally buy this one shot (in English) if I could. Since it was the same author of Mx0, it really shows the capabilities the mangaka with the completely different genres and even (slightly) different drawing styles in the themes.

As others have already noticed "The butler did it." That was obviously cliched but kind of funny in itself. How that played out really made it work though.

As to make it into a serialization, I guess they could go for a Hell Girl approach and do different short stories for each chapter/volume/ or episode, with each being standalone yet still connected by a common factor (in this case, the wandering ghosts narrating, overlooking the other regretful ghosts becoming triumphant).

it was a pretty interesting premise, but it turns out the butler did it? a little cliche

Yeah, the Butler part was too predictable, aside from that, it was a entertaining one shot. Great art and interesting story.

The author of Mx0? No wonder it was so good...

Agreed with most of the previous posts, it was a great oneshot probably one of my favorites.

Looks like the robbers are still on rampage, anyway he got to kill them at least once, that should be okay.
Interesting one-shot, it was so dark I wouldn't know it's from the same author as Mx0

This was a really intriguing concept. Had a bit of a Twilight Zone feel to it, but twisted into a violent manga form.
Plot was simple, but this is a one-shot, and worked primarily to showcase the premise. I think it would've made an interesting serial, focusing on different people trying to overcome their regrets at death for each story.

that wasn't half bad
i liked the idea the manga used and the outcome
wasn't really romance but nor was it a brother sister story, just mutual respect in the end

Well, that was an interesting read.
The last panel made me up its score by a point. So, in the end 7/10. Would definitely read it if it ever got serialized.

Very good oneshot!
What is the most cowardly and shameful thing in human conduct? It's when people with power and people who flatter them hide in safe places and extol war, force patriotism and self-sacrifice on others, then send them to the battlefield to die. For the sake of peace in the universe, before we continue this fruitless war with the Empire, mustn't we first start by exterminating such evil parasites? - Yang Wenli

It does not have anything special. A typical story told too fast. 5/10.

It was interesting for a one shot, but that's about it.

A bit hard to rate it, since giving it a good score would make it look pretty weird for a 1 episode worth of effort, so I guess a weak 6 will do.

How sad that they're dead, but at least their souls have rest.
