Downfall

I really thought I was going to read something great, unlike bakuman, reiraku showed a more obscure side about the mangakas, very similar but still different from the presentation of "i am a hero", closer to the real. I found the moment when the first and last chapter repeated some sentences but completely different visions, and that almost made it good, but I feel like I've been cut about 10 chapters of the series because it does not end, it closes more does not come to a conclusion, despite completing an "arc" yet yes it is too small to have any esplicitness that really was good.I feel frustrated to have read the endless end. was not bad overall, many people were satisfied with this, but for me there were missing chapters I hope I have helped.

tl;dr: A dreary manga about a burnt out mangaka that doesn’t really have a point but is reasonably interesting considering how short it is. Manga itself is a pretty common theme in manga. After all, it’s easiest to write about something one has experience on and mangaka inherently have experience with manga. However, most such manga are mangaka channeling the experience they had with a previous successful work into the story of a mangaka making their way to the top. This is very much the opposite. This manga is about a mangaka that’s completely burnt out on manga. It starts off with him ending a successfulseries, and the majority of the rest of it is him continuing going through life while still as a mangaka, but as one that has absolutely no desire to draw any more manga. Through flashbacks it shows how he was before when he was just starting out as a mangaka as well as the various factors that turned him into the jaded individual he becomes, mainly due to how everyone’s self-worth seems to have become entirely centered around how many books they sell. And beyond that it basically just shows him moping around. A mangaka that isn’t writing anymore manga is a pretty interesting character to focus on. This work presents mangakas as inherently self-centered as being so is necessary in order to be the type of person that’s able to write good manga. This isn’t that rare of a concept, as many other manga-oriented works do that as well, but they’re usually shown to be quirky and interesting enough as writers that they’re still likable. However, once a self-centered mangaka isn’t writing manga anymore, they’re just a self-centered individual without anything more to them. Thus, in this case, while this manga does paint the protagonist’s circumstances as somewhat complicated it ultimately does largely feel like a result of his own actions and mentality and the only aspect about him that particularly felt worthy of empathy was how lonely he was. And thus, it very much feels the protagonist is unlikable by design, and thus it’s not really the type of story the reader is supposed to get invested in the protagonist of, rather it’s just a look into the life of the protagonist in a specific phase of their life. I suppose that it’s decent enough at that and the emotions of being burnt out come through reasonably well. And considering how short it is I suppose that’s enough to make the work decent overall, but not more than that. It’s reasonably interesting in a sense, but it doesn’t really feel like it’s trying to tell any sort of story or convey any sort of message, nor is it particularly amusing, so it doesn’t feel like there’s enough substance to it. It also doesn’t really feel like it has anything that would leave and sort of lasting impact on the reader. So once again, it’s pretty short, so it’s a worthwhile enough read considering that I suppose, but it’s not particularly memorable or worth mentioning beyond that. The art is high quality, and the art style fits pretty well, but it’s a realistic type that doesn’t look all that eye pleasing, so it doesn’t draw much merit from that either.

English: Reiraku it's an immersive experience where we come face to face with the dark reality of a mangaka tired of his life, of his reality, without any reason to follow his routine, looking for a way to get out of it. Fukasawa is a character who feels as real as everyone else in this story, and that is what makes this manga so impressive and vivid to feel. I cannot say anything else, it's an experience to live, and you will understand if you ever felt that your inspiration died at some point in your life. Español: La verdad, no supe como expresar lo vivido eninglés, digo... Reiraku no solo va dirigido a mangakas, sino a gente que lo deja todo sin motivacion alguna, siento que Reiraku es una experiencia introspectiva para quien no sienta ganas de seguir viviendo sin querer necesariamente suicidarse... la verdad es que Reiraku es un manga a tener en consideración a la hora de hablar de realidad... Reiraku es realidad...
