After reading The House in Fata Morgana I looked up for another work by Hanadasenseihttps://anilist.co/staff/125838/HanadaKeika and consequently I found out about this series of light novel called Mortehttps://anilist.co/manga/92922/Morte/
Im wondering if outside Japan the volumes were only published in Brazil because I havent seen data about Morte being translated to any other languages than Portuguese also none fantranslations whatsoever. I hope that changes if my doubt is authentic.
That said Morte has 3 volumes published and more than one main character and the author used this to enrich the narrative especially on the first volume to deliver us how the characters feel about themselves and how they perceive whats happening around them. It was amazing to see the events happening from more than one perspective. In my opinion the storys elements were delicately put to grasp the readers attention and emotions.
Speaking of emotionsthe story is seasoned with emotional moments even the supporting characters have depth in their personality and they will play a big role in the development of the plot every character connection is meaningful. I cant forget to say about the main themes the story will present us: numbnessdoubt despair suffering love and Morte the last represents in the story as a rare condition that leads people to commit suicide. The word Morte means death in some languages so even the title suggests that feelings will be touched.
Another thing that Ive appreciated the depth is how the settings are described It was a good sensation to me imagining the places and landscapes as they were being narrated there were a lot of cultural/local references of the space where the things take place. I think its a subjective point of what Im going to write but I enjoy when real names are used in a fiction work like names of brands famous people and monumental places. Usually these things help me immerse even more in the ambiance.
So far my text only contains my opinion with positive points so heres now the things that I thought it could be better from my point of view:
The first one is about the back cover both volumes two and three delivered for me a text that said too much giving me an idea of what could happen when I was reaching some important events. Maybe this wont happen when other publishers release the volumes.
The second one is about changes that took place at some point. The author even said about his intentions with that changes on the afterwords of one of the volumes. I saw the potential in that modification and I enjoyed them in general but more than that I enjoyed the way these things were before that.
I will wrap up my review saying that I really enjoyed reading Morte from the first word until the last written letter. Having the opportunity I definitely will give it a reread in the future.
I would recommend this light novel to pretty much anyone who likes to read except people who feel really bad when there are sensitive topics on the content especially related to suffering.
