This is one of the webcomics that I've read so far that really moved me to tears because of how all the stories are quite poignant. Several of the stories are about friendship and love for family that I'm sure will touch the readers. Some of these will also make them ponder on how they treat their family and friends.
A great read that will make you think about the value of life and on how we spent it.

The Korean version is the best version to read as it explains a lot for each story. The translated version to English didn't change my level of enjoyment. A 4.5 rating for me as some parts were a bit confusing in the English version but people who read the Korean version were happy to explain the meanings for each chapter. I love how each chapter is so deep and unexpectedly wise with lessons to learn about life and death.

The webtoon comes with the soundtrack which was soo on point and compliments the plot so well. Each chapter is short but meaningful, inspiring and full of life lessons. Taught in a witty way.

*4.5/5*
Although it's short and simple, but the message it sends, is so powerful.....
Most people including myself thinks death is far in the future, but that's a lie we tell ourselves. It can happen to anyone, at anytime, and at anywhere. Funny thing is, it doesn't also need a reason. Death can just occur, hence we shouldn't take our lives and the lives of those around us for granted. Whatever you have to do, just get it done. I think we just have to constantly and consciously remind ourselves.

Бонус: музыкальное сопровождение пробирает до мурашек. Headphones only.
Тяжелое чтение. Требовательное. Не просто зарисовки с целью вызвать волну переживаний, а сюжеты, заставляющие прокручивать в голове и интерпретировать ранее полученную информацию. Первые главы можно с непривычки буксовать - но здорово спасает секция комментариев, где все разложено по полочкам. Еще помогает повторное прочтение, особенно когда истории от главы к главе начинают переплетаться.
Это драма, которая пробуждает ослепительную надежду на лучшее и погружает в самые темные подвалы осознания своей конечности. Ощущение давящей эйфории и свободного падения внутрь себя, неспособность разглядеть самое важное, пока не стало слишком поздно - все это дает на выходе слезы. И это нормально. Хорошая разрядка для невовремя стреноженных эмоций и возможность отпустить некоторые мысли, успокоив их обещанием: everything ends. You just wait for it.
А еще манхва на свой манер светло и беспощадно напоминает об обещаниях, что так любят давать себе люди. Завтра с утра я начну делать зарядку. Завтра я позвоню ей и скажу: “давай попробуем еще раз”. Завтра я стану ценить свою жизнь такой, какая она есть.
Этого “завтра” уже не будет.

Leído en Webtoon Originals (capítulos 0-4); el resto en otra aplicación (5- 23, final).
Una de las cosas que me fascina de este manhwa es lo bien que música e ilustraciones te sumergen en la historia. Las historias están cuidadas, cada una de ellas, con cariño y ternura. Me ha encantado y emocionado, haciéndome pensar y reflexionar sobre cosas que siempre intento no imaginar.
Es una historia muy cortita, que al principio tuve que releer otra vez porque había cosas que se me escapaban (gracias gente que deja comentario, me encanta leer las diversas teorías y emociones), pero que te deja con la boca abierta y sin ningún tipo de suavidad, te dice las cosas tal y como son. Si no es todos, casi todos me han hecho derramar lágrimas, me han quitado el aire y he sentido como se me encogía el corazón de pena y dolor, al mismo tiempo que pensaba: ¿y qué diría yo? ¿qué pensaría? ¿estaría feliz con mi vida?
About Death expone distintos aspectos de este fenómeno que nadie puede parar y de cómo ello afecta a los que se quedan en la tierra de los vivos y cómo afecta a los que se van, a las almas que parten a un lugar que no recordaremos haber alcanzado.

A wonderful comic with very beautiful and emotional storyline! ❤🤌
And the apt background music in it when you scroll down each panel makes it even more heart touching...
It's a collection of tiny stories in episodes, basically revolving around the main theme - Death and Afterlife!
Each story teaches us something,
Makes us ponder over many things...
Everything about this story is truly inspiring, amazing....

This was a long hard slog but well worth it. It's also officially the first entire book I've read in Korean, so there's that.
The graphic novel(English translation of the title: Regarding Death) is a series of vignettes in which people from all walks of life find themselves dead or near death, having a chat with God(or a god?) in a black and white, pale limbo. Some people get a second chance and we get a few full color pages of the next chapter of their lives. Others wander off on a different eternal path.
Witty and by turns grim and inspiring, the novel has simple, heavily lined art and reasonably accessible story lines. I hear an English translation is forthcoming, and if you spot it, grab it.

This was a mere chance I took while being still new to webtoons - I couldn't have imagined webtoon had something such subtle yet mature content to offer - so tightly gripped narration yet you couldn't do but summon to that bittersweet yet a strangely warm feeling. I just couldn't be more grateful to my instinct for starting this. This webtoon presents a philosophical side to death from the discussion between god and a dead or near to dead individual - which is though so much existent all around us yet so distant that we choose to rather ignore it and this just works so well to thrash the reality into reader's face such that death is not that devil anymore rather seems like a delicate flower full of hope which should not be taken granted.

About Death is amazing: it is poignant, honest, and extremely relatable. Each chapter allows me to live through a character's perspectives in life and in between living and death. This is the webtoon I always revisit during tough times as it never fails to remind me of the transience of life and circumstances, as well as what would matter the most at the end of the day when we all die.

Amazing.

Pues la verdad, no me llegó a impactar. Salvo el episodio 2 y, en menor medida, el último capítulo, el resto ha sido bastante soso y con un tratamiento un tanto superficial de un tema que puede dar para mucho más: la muerte. Para colmo, la traducción no ha sido lo que se dice afortunada, ya que hay que recurrir a los comentarios de lectores del original en coreano para poder comprender gran parte de la historia.

There are many stories that seek to be profound, but only end of repeating quotes and storylines that I've already seen before.
Not this one.
Every chapter left me shocked and every chapter hit me like a brick. The writing and pacing is genius, but also realistic. This is one of the stories that genuinely will make you a better person.

"Why don't you tell me your story?"
- different people in different scenarios exploring grief and death
- some episodes are kinda dark and the people aren't always who or what you expect
- giving some people second chances at life and others to reflect on their actions before the end
- some stories are really touching
- the music definitely adds to it

OMG.... This was the most incredible thing I had ever read. The stories are absolutely fantastic and they are so beautiful and so sad at the same time. This is the most awesome and deep manga I’ve ever read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great little webcomic. The English translation is a little rough, but the commenters on the hosting site explained anything left out from the original Korean.
