Comments of Sora o Daite Oyasumi

This is perhaps one of the most incredible series I have ever read, hands down, of any genre or demographic of manga. It is a heartbreaking misfortune that the series is on an extended hiatus, possibly facing discontinuation on the part of Kyuugo, because I think this story is her best yet (though it must take a lot out of her, so I think she took a break). The paneling arrangement, coupled with her style, really made the piece stellar and heart-wrenching, so that the quietest moments are in absolute stillness, and the eeriest moments seem twisted and contorted, just like the inner space of these boys' hearts. There is much to consider in this piece: questions of existence, questions of personhood, questions of mourning, of death, and of redemption where there is none to be found. The charm of this series is the way in which each chapter quietly slips from violent insanity to simple, sorrowful conclusions about life, as though one is experiencing the 5 stages of mourning all in the wrong order, and all in the most distorted manner. I wish from the bottom of my heart that Sora o Daite Oyasumi will return; I have already bought the magazine in which it was last serialized, and there is no mention of when it will resume. But even if it will not, is is surely worth the read, for the beauty that now exists, even if it is no longer.

The word "Heartache" is not enough.

I have lost count of exactly how many times my heart DIED while reading this creation of Kyuugou. It was excruciatingly intense & rich with dark, distorted emotions. The whole ambiance of this manga - every panel, every strand of hair, each glance, even simply the wind blowing was enough to make me shiver with fear & anticipation. I kept staring at some pages for more than a minute. I thought, if I don't watch them closely & carefully I'll miss something really important. Everything....and I mean E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G in this story from the start to the last line of last chapter gripped & gnawed at my heart.

I have been wracking my brains after finishing it, exactly which brother was more pitiful and here I am sitting in front of my laptop....staring at the wall, for god knows how long. It felt like they were twin brothers cursed by the destiny itself and Kei's words kept ringing in my ears, "why do you think we came into this world separately?" No matter how much I think about, I can't find/imagine a way for Kei's salvation from his path of self-destruction neither could I bring myself to blame Roku for anything.

Among all the incest mangas & other thought provoking, emotionally disturbing psychological mangas I have read so far, Kyuugou crushed it. It's not like she used some complicated difficult words or dramatic scenes. With simple words, simple lines, simple scenes.....she pulled me into her world! As if everything was happening in front of my very eyes in slow motion holographic images & I can do nothing about it but to see them getting shattered & destroyed by their uncontrollable overwhelming emotions. The eeriness of every scene got under my skin & made me recoil with horror & suspense. Still, I couldn't stop myself from getting swept away with each chapter. It's no wonder she dropped it. I mean, I feel like this just after reading it, so I could not possibly imagine what she must have felt while writing those 9 chapters thick with mind-crippling emotions.

Despite feeling compassionate for her I would still pray & hope that Kyuugou sensei would pick it up again one day & write it till the end. Not just because it's a Masterpiece but because I have come to deeply love & care for those miserable characters. And I don't want them to be stuck in a time hole for eternity without a definite closure.

Ah, I must admit I was a bit on the "nah, doesn't seem worthwhile," and boy was I wrong. Trigger warning and such, but, beautifully tragic is the name.

(on reading list - 2018.10.13) edit: i had to hunt down this manga in my 2k+ 'im reading' list bc i suddenly rmbr it. this one is tragically, hauntingly beautiful. i first read this yrs ago, definitely not in this site. the 2nd time ive read it is back in 2018 (thru this site) and i still cry every single time. this mightve destroyed me emotionally but i couldnt stop reading it. the start of this manga was slow and quite ordinary until that one photograph shuji discovers then u learn the story of the mysterious stunning man on the rooftop. kei & roku's story just screams ANGST ALL OVER and yet i couldnt look away. a character suffering so much and trying so desperately to fill that void, that hole, thru someone elses body warmth. its all just carnal desires but its the only thing he found that might, that could, temporarily numb his sorrows. its a momentarily escape but ofc the pain never rlly goes away. he just... forgets for a while. its so sad seeing him go thru this, its tormenting for me but at the same time it was oddly... beautiful. im so drawn into this story and ik not everyone would feel the same way. in fact, some thinks that the storytelling was all over the place and was just a mess but thats not how i see it. this manga is a very bumpy ride but definitely a masterpiece

This manga is a masterpiece! It really explains the feeling of unrequited, forbidden and impossible love. I cried every chapter... T.T You can really feel the other twin's feelings through the mangaka's drawing and the way she writes every single emotion of the characters! Sassuga kyuugo! Her works are always awesome :')

I feel like I understand kei because I also feel like...empthy. Like theres a hole in me, like i long for something that doesn't exist...And I don't know what to do about it

ew incest, why are y'all glorifying it

they always have to make twin stories with incest. so unrealistic, creepy and gross. i'm convinced these authors have no siblings or if they do, they must fantasise about their own siblings cause how else can you make something like this??

This is so good wth where's the vol 2?will this be continued? Damn found this on the list "masterpiece" and yes it's truly a masterpiece gosh there's so much in just 9 chaps at point u won't know how to react since the story's so heavy packed aghh i don't even know how to explain it lololol

Great story, but the author dropped it so it's actually incomplete.

shit takes me a month to get over

incest rela + dropped

Uncompleted masterpiece...

I kinda feel like this story is incomplete

I thought I wouldn't get hurt by this story...but I did.

Man this just really

So much could've been done with this story, but it just kind of fizzled out...
