Alive
 

Alive - Last Evolutionary Boy


Currently stuck on this manga. I thought it was going to be something creepy but it's interesting. Thought I'd share.

Well... o_o

i got like to chapter 30 or something than put it on hold due to other anime/manga that caught my attention. ill start reading it again once i find where i left off XD

i like it though. kind of reminded me of some movie. XD

"you got some slutty panties"
LOL
xD

Must be playing too much Legals & Humans. First thing I thought when I read the description was that Legals were trying to frame him.


Looks interesting.

LOL

Reading the description makes me think of what my borther told me about yesterday. He listens to Sick and Wrong(A podcast) and they were talking about some Japanese movie(I think it was Japanese) that was about tons of suicides or something. The suicide rate in Japan rose as kids saw this movie. Teens were watching this movie and then killing themselves in the ways people committed suicide in the movie. o_o

Apparently the movie is a few years old and wasn't released in the US xD

o.o
isn't japan the highest suicidal rate?
because they take this test in japan, that decides your future, and that is why alot of people suicide

and dam, a girl jumped of a building and landed right in front of him,and she smiled at him before she died....

Yep. When they take the test, they'd be in what we Americans consider 8th grade, I believe.

O.O
wow
that must suck
do you know if they can retake it?


and wow, the book is really good, still on ch 1 but wow

Not sure. D:

11th highest rate among Men, 3rd highest for women, 9th highest overall.

Makes sense.

im getting scared reading it

i'm terrified of death and is reading a book about death -_-

Why are you terrified of death?

cuz you die? o: and it hurts? normally?

well theres things that i'm more scared of then death, but i'm scared of death mostly because of what happens after. I used to be catholic but as the years progress i lost faith.

Doesn't always hurt. Some discomfort, usually. Unless you get murdered or have like.. a heart attack. But dying of old age or whatever isn't that bad. All apart of life.
I've never believed in god or any type of god.

I've accepted that there's nothing after death. You just die and thats that. :smarty:

that is why i'm scared of it
i dont want to accept that fact and wont accept that fact

But when its time for you to die.. you won't even know whats happening(probably) and then you're gone.

There's no point in worrying/being afraid. If its your time to die, its your time and you ain't stoppin' it. xD

I'm away for couple of minutes and it has like two pages... x___x


I think Japan is really lenient in some aspects while super strict in others... odd balance of things. I can totally understand the reason for suicides, quite a bit of pressure for each child.

And I believe the movie is called Suicide Circle or something along those lines. I read a manga that was based on it and yeah... grotesque was an understatement.

Anyway, about the manga... gets better! xD

@afor huh what o.o but seriously you arnt afraid of dying? if someone came up to you with a gun, you wouldn't be afraid?


the books is already good, i'm on ch 3, i have to do some other stuff so i dont get too scaredXD

Thats different. Any "normal" person would be afraid BUT if he/she is going to shoot.. I'm not really going to stop them am I? I could run, yes.. or try to fight them but if its my time to go, then.. so be it.

I think, I think the way I do mainly because of my father(long story).

its kind of like going to sleep i guess o: even if you look at the clock before you say you're going to sleep when you wake up you never know the exact time that you actually fell asleep.... XD idk

COOKIE MONSTER!

Uh... yes....
-regains composure-

Death is inevitable. So I'm not afraid of it per se. Someone pointing a gun at me... IMO is another form of fear. Not sure how to explain but yeah.

someone notices itxD'

eh dont get how you guys are not afraid of dying
and what do you mean "when its your time"
theres a certain time in your life when its ment for you to die?

Not that there's a certain time. Its not like someone has it marked down or anything..

When you die, that was your time. So.. I just say(like most people do) "When its your time" xD

i dont get it-_-
your time?
so your destined to die at that time?
so if someone was going to kill you but then you somehow manage not to die, you didn't die at your time?

No. O_o

Its really just a saying/phrase/whatever.

Whenever you die, then that was your time. I can't make it any simplier than that.

eh, okay -_-

I think basically you shouldn't fear it because there's no helping it. Accept that you will die someday and that there's nothing you can do about it.


Fear of death and the fear you get when someone holds a gun to your head are different, but it's difficult to explain. Someone may specifically fear death but will not likely specifically fear having a gun to their head.

Close by not quite.

"It's your time" refers to how you are "destined" to die at a certain time. If someone was gonna kill you but you somehow didn't die, then that wasn't "your time", and "your time" has not come yet.

well, i dont think its that i actually fear dying, well maybe a little, but its mostly of what happens after is what makes me not want to die.

You can't really worry about the unknown though, can you?

At least not something like that. Whatever happens after death, or doesn't happen, then.. thats just how it is. You'll have to die to find out and, hopefully, that will be a long time from now.

Sounds interesting, makes me want to read it. But I'm not good with gruesome stuff unless it's easy to predict so I can look somewhere else or scroll down to avoid it or something. @_@

not easy to predict-_-
going to read ch3 once i'm done with new posts
