| Somewhere in the back of our minds whenever nosotros read a romance is the question, "Will this have a happy ending?" With some stories we know the answer immediately; others, like Mitsuru Hattori's Sankarea, make the states question that answer constantly. The truth lies somewhere in-betwixt in this case: Hattori maintains that the ending is happy, and in large function it is. But Sankarea never quite loses its ineffable sadness, making this, while more than sugariness than bitter, still a finale that leaves a niggling fleck of sorrow in the heart. Events have been escalating dramatically since Rea, Bub, and Chihiro went to ZOMA's secret zombie facility on a small tropical island several books agone, and not just take we witnessed Darin's change of heart, only besides learned the truth about Gramps and his elixir, partly from him and partly through the zombified remains of his second wife, the irrepressible Otoki. The 2 virtually important things that Chihiro and Darin learned from all of this is that Granddaddy's body had become "impervious to decease" through repeated small doses of the elixir and that all zombies desire to eat that (or whom) they love most. As Rea'southward mental state deteriorates at a rapid pace, Chihiro is faced with the question of how much he would sacrifice for her continued well-being. He could, of class, just let her be put to concluding rest...or he could offer himself upward as a meal and hope that it will render her "special zombie" status and give her back the (un)life she is finally having a chance to alive. Either way information technology looks as if a happy ending is not in the cards for the ii, and it is to Hattori's credit that he manages to work within the restrictions he placed upon himself to make things worthwhile for readers. Later all, he made two basic promises to both us and his characters at the start of the series: Rea would get to alive a normal life and Chihiro would get to be with his platonic zombie girl. Among the clever usage of misdirection (and then a much less clever employ of the same technique later), Hattori largely fulfills both of those promises. More of an event is the return of Rea's father. When we last saw him shortly after Rea had been zombified (and actually, we larn that all 11 volumes take identify over the class of a month), he had tried to kill Chihiro before leaving to research cures for Rea'due south undead country, preferably ane that would return her to life. At present he comes back at the stop to redeem himself for his treatment of his daughter for about of her life. While it is difficult to argue confronting his actions now that he's back, since they are crucial to the story'southward resolution, it too is a fiddling difficult to take that his years of abusing his daughter are swept under the carpeting and he is allowed to become a good character. While I'1000 all for forgiveness in theory, this is the human being who acquired his daughter to effort and commit suicide because he fabricated her life such a living hell. It was his actions that caused her death, and while the argument tin can be made that if she hadn't fallen off that cliff after drinking the potion we wouldn't have a story, I find information technology difficult to let him off so easily. Not only does he not really accept to alive with the knowledge that he helped to kill his daughter, because she's right there walking and talking, but he also becomes a major facilitator of the happy ending, which only doesn't sit quite right. It feels also much like an excuse for a reprehensible villain, a go-out-of-jail-complimentary carte created in social club to manipulate the story. The curt story included in the back isn't specially good, though information technology does prove in one case again his willingness (and ability) to play with what's acceptable to draw in a shounen manga: y'all've never seen then many erect, naked penises in non-hentai manga. They all belong to ane trivial boy, of form, but he nevertheless got them in in that location, similarly to how he snuck in hints of pubic hair in before volumes. Problems bated, this is a fitting terminate to the tale. Hattori's art has improved over the course of the story, and the juxtaposition of creepy zombie images and traditional shoujo-way romantic embellishments at primal points of the story work very well at creating a slightly unsettling tone. Hattori also uses line thickness to adept issue, assuasive the force and thickness of the lines to help create mood. If nothing else, nosotros can rest assured that Rea is out in that location somewhere getting to alive the life she was initially denied, proving that death cannot stop everything – merely delay it for a while. |
