Sometimes you find a book so special that when you turn the final page, you hug it to your chest and just feel. No words. No thoughts. Just feeling.

This is one of those books.

*Thank you Dark Horse Manhwa for the Edelweiss DRC*

Purgatory Funeral Cakes is becoming one of my favorite graphic novel series. It isn't a high stakes sort of Manhwa. It is more like a cozy, healing fiction collection of stories that takes place in a world where paranormal/mythical/godlike creatures reside.

This volume was broken into two parts: the first part was a story about Sol'i, a young mer-person who just wants to sing and create music with impact. Despite being a talented and amazing performer and writer, she deals with everyday prejudice that leads to a physical altercation. Instead of having this moment define who she is, she decides to put her energy into healing and being the star she was meant to be. The second story is about ChaCha (a humanoid cat) and his "grandma," and how they create a bubble contraption through science and magic. This story really focuses on dreams and wishes and how it's important to remember that a dream shouldn't be the thing that defines your existence. Whether it is a dream fulfilled or failed, the journey towards that dream is what makes it important and valuable.

This book is soft yet soul gutting. It truly captures the essence of grief, loss, and sorrow, while highlighting the beauty of a life lived.

If you haven't read volume 1, you should start there, though it's not absolutely necessary.

This volume featured two more stories of lives told by grieving friends. The first, a punk rock band singer who was much loved by his musician writing partner and fellow band member, had gills, which somehow made her controversial and the victim of violence. But that's not really what her story was about, but rather art, enjoying life, and friendship.

The second, about a magician who had to retire following a tragic incident on stage but still yearns to complete her most ambitious trick, meets a young female humanoid cat, who is bullied at school and discouraged in her dream of being an astronaut. They form a strong grandparent-like relationship, working on each other's dreams.

As with the first volume, the art is good but this is really about the relationships, about appreciation and about life passions. Because these weren't family members, this is less about grief but they were still very touching stories. It's a high recommend from me, and I look forward to the next volume!

Do you want beautiful exploration of grief and death? If yes, you should read this series. The art is beautiful and the stories are lovely. The last one had me absolutely bawling. This held two stories. The first about a person that could live in water and land with fish gills that made music with others and brought joy to them. The second was about a kid that dreams of being an astronaut and meets a kind former magician and they become friends.

I would recommend this for anyone affected by loss which who hasn’t. It’s just amazing and graceful. It makes me miss people but also want to share what they meant to me.

edit- I was really tired when I wrote this so fixed a few errors.

Hayal kurmakla alakalı kısımları ilham vericiydi. İkinci hikâyeyi daha çok beğendim. Çizimleri muhteşem, harika bir görsel dünya sunuyor.

ikinci hikaye sanırım iki kitaptaki en etkileyici hikayeydi, çok hoşuma gitti. devamı çıkarsa kesinlike okuyacağım bir kurgu

These stories continue to delight. The art is so lovely and the limited colors make things dramatic and lovely.
