When exhausted workaholic apothecary Colette jumps into a well, instead of dying she finds herself caring for a new Hades, Lord of the Dead. As Colette goes back and forth between her world and the underworld, new patients of every kind arrive daily!
Alto YUKIMURA is best known for being the artist of Ginzatoushi to Kuro no Yousei: Sugar Apple Fairytale. for being the author & artist of Colette Decides to Die: Konin-hen, Colette wa Shinu Koto ni Shita, Roppyaku Peiji no Mystery, and Honey & Butterfly.
Luckily obtained this early copy at a bookstore. What I really enjoy about this series is how it tackles tough topics like death, eternity, and human flaws with such warmth and love. Much of the story is bittersweet, but not without heartfelt moments that keeps readers comforted. This set of two volumes finally reaches a climax for the romantic tension that has been pulled through previous volumes that is satisfying (and still bittersweet). I look forward to seeing where the story now heads with this tension lifted.
Another wonderful all the way through volume! I love all of these characters so much and following them through their day to day lives is a treat. I cried a little, I giggled and squealed and kicked my feet. Dio and Hermes helping Colette on her long journey home is fun and well balanced with the romance with Hades.
I love Collette for many reasons from the realistic depiction of death and grief, the charming side characters especially the skeletons, the adorable romantic confessions of Colette and Hades, the beautiful artwork and most of all the overall story arc that is being told.
