Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi

@Mirugo and Rizky: I think people can "die", but they need a gravekeeper to make it permanent. Until then, it's kind of like they're zombies: their bodies and brains can rot, but they'll still be "alive". It's likely that living while being dead can cause unintended consequences for the "living" people, though those effects haven't been necessarily revealed yet. I think it's related to how their brains rot and the effects it has on their minds.

 

By the way, I reread the manga to refresh my memory since it's been so long, and that one gravekeeper they met—Scar—mentioned that there were 57 dead people and one "irregularity" that could be ignored. Irregularity worries me. Do you think it might be referring to Ai's mom? Or something else? It might also refer to someone else.

Well it was confusing for me a the start but whith later chapters the story is making more sense do you remember when  touki tell ai "sorry" i think it is  because they are deceiving her so she doesnt do her job as a gravekeeper,  they are already dead maybe they died from the disease but i think that touki was still alive or is the same as hampnie because of what scar said that there was one that was abnormal.

was this actually picked up again or is that an old chapter that was missed?

It seems we're getting an anime adaptation! http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-10-19/kamisama-no-inai-nichiyobi-light-novels-gets-anime

I can already imagine rikiya koyama as Julie and nobuhiko okamoto as Hampnie

I'm confused.  I stopped at ch 10 because it's not making sense to me.  Maybe I missed something but why was everyone in the village killed in the first place?  No one can reproduce or die, yet he claims that people are dying of illness and the like and that he kills them.  But they are alive then if they weren't dead...so it's just murder.  And the little girl chooses to follow the man who killed all her friends and family?

Either my logic or the story's logic is confusing me.

so do i... will there be someone kind enough to explain it to me?

Wow, really, an update? Thank you!

An update on this manga? Well, that was unexpected.

@Ragion Layward and others
I didn't see anywhere that it followed any specific allegorical elements, and from reading it I would say that it is not supposed to make sense, yet.

Dunno about you guys, but Hampnie is fucking awesome.

the eyes are really hard to get used to...

This is startling. I really don't know what to make of it.

LEAVE HAMPNIE ALONE!!! *crying*

No really,he might be tough, but I doubt he himself was treated any better in the past. And besides, the guy has lived for long enough to know what he's talking about, not to mention all he's seen and been through. I wouldn't say that he's bullying Ai, more like he wants to lead her out on the right path but doesn't really know how to do it properly. I think he really cares a lot.

btw this would be what you called a male version of a tsudere, no? If they're going to journey to the "outside world"... well they haven't even reached another town yet, this is only begining hmm.. in chp 13 XD so let's be patient!

whats thier to make sense of its called "artistic license."

The way you say it mean ur take ur religion/god way too seriously to the point you can't enjoy this story.

this manga........is weird and stupendesly biblicaly incorrect i mean i get its a manga but i cant see the whole because god abandoned the world they cant die or make kids someone make sense of this for me

The reason everyone hates the guy is because he killed the villagers and abuses Ai. I know the village was already dead; however, they were obviously kind people. They treated Ai well and looked out for her well-being. Not only that, it makes no sense why the dead need to stay dead especially if no one is being born.

And tough love? Seriously? Kicking someone, especially a 12 year old girl in the stomach hard enough to send her flying into the air and then immediately following up with another kick to the face is not really tough love. That's abuse. Tough love is making your children work a little harder, pushing them a little further when they don't like it, etc. with good intentions. While I might be inclined to agree that he had good intentions, I think that still remains to be seen, but his actions were those of love.

This is twisted. It's like everyone is twisted = =''

so that i have seen he not like the other dead. his body heal unlike other dead people that i've seen so far.

Her expressions this chapter were frickin hilarious!

I don't understand all the people that don't like Hampert...people get beaten up all the time, and sometimes that's the only way they learn things.

tough love is a slap to the face not a kick to the gut followed by a kick to the face and then some more kicks while she was down and lets not forget this is a little girl

If that's the limit of your tough love, then this can be tougher love. Hampert's shown countless times that he cares:


I guess everyone has a different upbringing, but this sort of tough love is only a slight emphasis on what can be found elsewhere...

I must say, killing yourself to recover your stamina? that's frigging awesome bro.

@orphen21 Well he realized that she wasn't really human. She's a hybrid gravekeeper who is a lot tougher than a normal girl. But no, if he really wanted to kill her he could've done it in the blink of an eye. It might look harsh to you but he's really the only one in the world that actually gives a fuck about her (and if she really hated him, she would've ran away or stayed behind). All those corpses she was living with were using her and would've eventually killed her.

Dude, it would be soooo fun to kill that guy. Shoot him and like 5 seconds later he dramatically auto-resses with a dramatic speech. Then again...that'd get annoying really fast
