“Most things in this world can be solved with money.” (Phrased from Yukionna, Chapter 7/ Page 9)
Legitimate statement. Yet, it also raises two important questions.
What if the problem you are facing can’t be solved with the money you possess?
What if you don’t even have the money to solve any single problem?
With these two questions confronting Kita (Male MC) and Ayame (female MC), their paths intertwine. And just like that, the road trip of “absolutely no return”, or aka. “after eating Hokkaido crab then die”, begins.

Yukionna to Kani wo Kuu left a strong aftertaste after reading for me. Yukionna means snow woman based on Japanese folklore. The female main protagonist Ayame was called a Yukionna probably due to the mysteries surrounding her. The male main protagonist Kita and Ayame both seek death by suicide for their personal struggles. They meet in an unlikely scenario and decide to not die until they travel to Wakkanai in Hokkaido, the northernmost city in Japan, and taste the king crab.
The series is made for adults with a lot of sex scenes. Even though the overall feeling is sad for this manga, there ... Sep 10, 2020
The score is subject to change based on the ending but as I write this review right now I'll say that I'm in love with this manga.
The premise is unique definitely but it grounds itself with dark themes, managing to make the readers interested in a journey of a man out to eat crab before his death and a housewife who joins him willingly. Artwork is beautiful in my eyes, the author never misses that chance to showcase the beauty of our heroine but he never forgets to show us glances of her own sorrow. The two characters to me are a direct contrast of each ... Mar 21, 2022
I read this out of whim. I was baited for it being a Smut Manga. The first chapter made me question what I just read, then when I continued reading the hooker pulled me into a bittersweet adventure between a suicidal man and a housewife.
Eating Crab with a Yukionna isn't just a simple story. There's a lot of layers you have to understand before you find the answer you need, and once everything comes together, it's a beautiful, bittersweet story that shouldn't be really viewed as one, but it is. Without getting too much into details, as I know there are other reviews out there that ... Aug 11, 2021
I felt awful for the ML while reading this manga since he was suicidal as a result of a sexual assault case in which he was found not guilty and his family abandoned him. However, I felt it unusual and bizarre that he purposefully kidnapped a random wealthy woman (AKA THE FL) for a crab bite. Yes, she is cheating on her author husband, whom she does not love, according to what you read. This manga is supposed to be dark, but as I got halfway through the novel and they went on their "adventures," I didn't find the story to be very emotional. It's

The series is decent, but I feel people overstate how philosophical or existentialist it is. The manga is a 7/10 take on self-introspection and the weight we carry throughout our lives. It has its beautiful moments, darker melancholic takes, and some episodes of sending the reader on an eerie trip into the human psyche.
Unfortunately, the impact is marred by several drawbacks: 1) The Hokkaido side story with one particular character was so obviously shoehorned in and felt cheap. One of the most out-of-place plot points I've seen recently. 2) Weak delivery of the resolution/conclusion: I'd say this could be attributed to spending so much time on the ... |
