AxelNeuman88's manga / #Supernatural(14)

Usually, I approach stories like that with a grain of salt, finding them pretentious and often banal. But this one, with its morbidness and gloomy art, the uniqueness of the story told in 8 pages.. it resonated with me. In the afterworld, there is a bar. Nothing special, just a small and dingy bar at the crossroad between Heaven and Hell. A haven for those stuck between heaven and hell, waiting for their angel's share. A man comes in, so sure that he is destined for hell, but is that right? And why does he get the exclusive angel's share? The story provides a lot of food for thought. Is the bartender in reality God who sees the remorse in the man? Is being the 10000th customer enough to get in Heaven? Does really a lucky number cleanse your sins and allows you to bypass Hell and a long wait in the Afterworld? Is really luck what gets in you Heaven? Why him and not the 10000th customers before him, was the number just made up? For those who do not know, "angel's share" is just a term referring to the whiskey that evaporates When the liquid is slowly maturing in its cask.

Aramiya Satoshi is a friendly hermit, he lives a simple life, enjoying each and every day with a broad smile on his face. But his peace is always disrupted by armies that are trying to capture him due to his supernatural abilities of unknown origins and seemingly without any limits. Who is he and why a child genius named Grimm is so invested in him? The story is simple, enjoyable, and uncomplicated. The main characters - Aramiya Satoshi and Grimm are both fairly engaging in their different approaches to life. Aramiya Satoshi had a turbulent past, but despite it, he is friendly, a bit naive, and he still finds joy in a simple, carefree life. Grimm is a young genius, at 10 years he published a scientific thesis that changed the world, he is arrogant, cocky and full of nervous energy. The dynamic between them is interesting and the story would only gain more if we saw more of it e.g. how their approaches to life and their life, in general, changed thanks to each other. Nevertheless, I digress, the story is nice, the characters are cute and the manga panels are animated and bright.
