Satou-kun ga Shinde kara

That boy is a walking corpse. Sato-kun met an early death in a traffic accident, and then he came back to school as a zombie. The popular guy who used to light up the room is now silent and distant. The premise is a short romance with a supernatural hook, where grief and affection meet in an unlikely way.The strength is the emotion. The contrast between Sato's past brightness and his present silence is affecting, and the classmate's quiet devotion is moving. The tone is restrained, which suits the subject.The weaknesses are about scope. The series is short, so the story does not have much room to explore its rules or its side characters. Readers wanting a longer arc may find it brief.Recommended for readers who enjoy short, bittersweet supernatural romances. Expect a sombre, tender read that is best enjoyed in one sitting.
