I am not even gonna bother writing a long review.

- Nothing makes sense here. Story. Characters. Dialogues. World. Coherence between character relevance and screen time. All of it is absurd.
- The slight possibility that there is actual social criticism (people assume there is in S1 but no one really agrees what is the criticism about), is all in your mind. It doesn't exist.

- Characters are trash. Most of them already were in S1, and they still are. The ones that didn't suck or didn't talk enough to do it, now they do. Zero development or incoherent development for all of them.

- They build up ... hype for an ending that's extremely anticlimactic.

overall a huge pile of s***. Don't waste your time, I gave a 2 because I kinda like the animation, but I wouldn't disagree with someone rating this 1/10

Sasuga Kei mangas are my guilty pleasure. I've read pretty much everything she has published even though all of it kinda sucks. This is not the exception. Characters are always shallow, plot twists make no sense, the story seems to be constantly rambling for no reason... but still, it always feels so digestible and easy to read that I keep coming back for more.

I know it's bad. I know I shouldn't like it. It even pisses me off sometimes (the way Sasuga Kei keeps bringing up serious/disturbing topics such as child abuse, drug overdose, suicide, domestic abuse... just for 1,2 or maybe half a ... chapter to then conclude that everything is fine and go back to silly romance). But I still enjoy it somehow. It may be shit, but it is my shit. And it is fine to enjoy and like shit. We should accept that things are not good just because we like them. No one can seriously say Issho ni Kurashite Ii desu ka? is a good manga, but you can definetely enjoy it.

Long story short: give it a shot if you have read Good Ending and/or Domestic na Kanojo and you liked them. Stay away if you didn't. It's more of the same. Not better, not worse, it is just more of the same.

It is always nice to read Sasuga Kei's stories. They are easy to read, light, enjoyable... But precisely because they are light, they deal poorly with serious or darker topics. Sasuga Kei often throws in archs involving prostitution, drugs, eating disorders, bullying... and they end up being so superfluous that feels like a waste. Pure filling. And here we have a story revolving around a girl who wants to commit suicide and finds a partner to help her with it.

Truth be told, this one-shot is enjoyable and it could develop into a classic Sasuga Kei romantic story that I would devour happily.
However, judging by ... the precedents seen in Good Ending and Domestic na Kanojo when it comes to sensitive topics, I can't help but to think that if "Kanojo to boku no end roll" becomes a serialized manga it will go south real quick.

Mod Edit: This review was originally posted for Kuzu no Honkai Décor (110489) and has subsequently been merged into Kuzu no Honkai (44929).


These chapters basically close the stories of all the characters of Kuzu no Honkai.
Apparently a lot of people were disappointed with the "true ending" and claimed for these chapters to be created and released.

In my humble opinion they are totally unnecesary. If you were satisfied with KnH as it is, you can skip Décor and carry on with yor life. Unfortunately seems like people cannot handle a manga without a happy ending for the MC or an open-ended story.

Getting a bit ... more into the quality of this work, these sequels don't fix any of the incongruences on the characters' behaviors or decisions, on the contrary they might even get bigger. Therefore I would only recommend to read Décor to those who enjoyed the original work and want a bit more, or those who were unhappy with the original ending.
