ハピネス 10

a bit idk what to do with my life anymore now that i finished it...

it's easy to get dragged into it, at least for me, i couldn't help but root for my favorite characters, and the way the chapters were written, i just kept turning the next page without even noticing the time.

i usually feel sleepy when reading any type of media, but ハピネス kept me emotionally engaged, maybe also traumatized, and curious that i feel like i read this fairly quickly. (ik it took a couple days but i literally dont finish eng manga i read augh) i hope i can find more like this that are easy to read and don't bore me.

man...

the panels too... the way when there's no text but the art speaks for itself... aaa..

Good

Really unique and complex, thoroughly enjoyable. The characters are written really well, and the themes are painted so beautifully across the story. I felt connected to or at least sympathetic for every character, simply because they're all written so well, even if said character is an irredeemable monster.

I cried reading this book; I laughed reading this book. I hated some characters with all my heart; I loved some characters with all my heart. Sometimes it's kinda weird, sometimes it's kinda confusing, but when it's all tied together, it's just really really good.

As for language, if you're N4 or nearing N3 you'll be fine.

WOULD RECOMMEND !!!!

Binge Reading material

This manga is easy enough to a level where you could easily binge read all the 10 volumes and it is also interesting. It is kind of graphic but that is expected from a manga called ハピネス。

manga sucked ass and I almost regret reading it

yes yes very easy japanese much good for practice moving on

this was the stupidest manga I've ever read.

After nine volumes of violence and pain, we fianlly get a glimpse of the titular happiness in a genuinely moving denoument. A story like this needs to stick the landing and Happiness does it beautifully. The best horror is always about something a bit deeper than what it says it's about, and underneat the gory vampire story is a pretty deep look at alienation, trauma, and ultimately what it means to be happy when you've experienced incredible sadness and loss.

It was nice to be able to not only read but truly immerse in a story in Japanese and I do think that if you can stomach the gore this is a great first manga to attempt in Japanese. The writing might have been easy to read, but the themes and characters were complex and finishing this series was a huge confidence booster. The trickiest part in this particular volume is actually the afterword, which is handwritten in incredibly scribbly kanji and I admit I looked up the translation to see what was there. Perhaps eventually I'll be able to read handwriting.
