This was amazing...

I'll be open about this, I've been suicidal before, came close to jumping once. There aren't words that can describe the thrill of being on the edge. But then something just kept me back.
In Kyoko and Shinji's case it was their love, in mine it was music. I decided I can't go somewhere without music just as they couldn't go where they aren't together.

I won't be edgy and say "you wouldn't understand" if the themes of this manga put you off, the opposite, means you have it figured out. It just touched me deeply because of my own experience.

I won't go over the ... usual 3 criteria I do (story, characters and art) because they're all a 10, no, an 11/10 in my opinion.

I don't really know who to recommend this to but I still want to with all my heart. If you have these feelings know that there's still much to do in this world and I hope this manga illustrates that. So I recommend it to people like this who think they don't have anything in their lives. It's there, and you don't necessarily need to look for it. It will happen naturally, whether it's someone or something you'll grow to love.

Plus, if you do end it you'll just inconvenience someone who's gonna have to clean you up. Don't be a hassle to others, just live your life.

Like arya stark, the main characters of Hatsukoi Shinjuu: "Shinji" and "Koyoko" worship the god of death only(Lol). Hatsukoi Shinjuu is a very thought provoking manga that is deserving of anyone's attention.

Death is certain but why do we live if we know we are going to die" blah blah blah, we live because we know we are going to die". Death is the strongest bond anyone can have with another person, knowing someone will be with you when it is your time to go. These concepts are what drives Shinji and Kokoyo through their unforgettable Journey.

The character progression of all the main characters ... introduced is just amazing to say the least. (With all the characters) you can tell they are learning from their mistakes and improving on them. They are all brought together through "Death".

From most manga or anime I have watched, it seemed like they always force a romance between two or more specific characters and gladly this manga is a black sheep in the herd. The romance between shinji and koyokyo is so well done and believable. Its one of the romances where you just want them to be happy.

Sadly nothing is perfect and this is clear in the finale. Its not particularly bad its just very vague and confusing. All in all, I honestly loved this manga so much and I think anyone should check Hatsukoi Shinjuu. *and if you do please message me as I would love to have a discussion about this manga!"

This is a pretty good manga if you can get past the whole idea of committing suicide. During the two characters journey together they find happiness as they inevitably know their destination.

I thought the characters were enjoyable, understandable and likable. The other characters that they meet during their journey is what I truly believe that helps them to find happiness.

Despite it being a good read for me, the ending was rushed as you didn't get really know one of the character's back story that well. This manga was most likely axed which gave it an unsatisfied ending for me. Although I did feel that the ... characters completed what they wanted to do before the end.

Overall if you want a quick read with a lot of feels then give this a shot but beware the ending is rushed.
