Thank you to NetGalley and Publishers for this ARC

This manga is just wonderfully wholesome and keeps getting better as the volumes go on!

Colette and Hades are such a sweet pairing and Dionysus was such a fun character throughout this volume, looking forward to seeing more in later volumes.

Definitely a series I would like to buy so I can have a physical copy!

This manga series flows really well and is easy to follow. The characters are very playful and cute, and I'm intrigued by the appearance of a specific goddess and what her role in this series might become. Colette and Hades are as sweet together as always, and Dionysus was a fun addition throughout this volume. It's not exactly riveting, but it's very cozy and easy to read and brings about a sense of genuine pleasantness.

This was seriously adorable and cute and I am LOVING this series so far. Please ignore the troublesome title, this is not what it sounds like. It is serious at moments, but it is a sweet, slow romance as the MCs get to know one another. I am honestly loving it and recommend it heartily if you enjoy sweet and slow romances with a bit of the supernatural and coincidence thrown in. I love the artwork, I LOVE the MC H (SUCH a CinnaRoll) and the storyline is progressing nicely, not too quickly or too slowly.

5, I am down with this series so far, stars.

My thanks to NetGalley and VIZ Media LLC for an eARC of this book to read and review.

Thanks to NetGalley and VIZ Media for the ARC.

An omnibus edition of volumes 5 and 6. By this point, Hades is finally admitting to himself that he has feelings for Colette, and has to handle his jealousy over her. I was unashamedly giddy over that part. It's still very cute, and I like the direction that all the characters are heading, even minor ones.

Volume 1 of Colette Decides to Die was fun enough, but felt a bit uneven, and in places very generic shoujo. I can see why the publisher decided to make another volume available. I really really enjoyed this so much more (even though I think the first volume was pretty good). How Colette deals with the individual patients, whether they are gods like Io (Dionysus) or an ailing grandmother filled with regrets, gives us more subtle windows to Colette's worldview and inherent goodness that manages to be less cloying than the opening chapters, while deepening her romance with Hades. The reversal, where Colette injures herself by walking too far on a journey and must be nursed by Hades and his attendants, is equally charming.

First major story arc is Colette tending to Dionysus, who has fallen ill with a cold and more or less forced to stay in the Underworld until he recovers. While doing that, Colette gets to the bottom of why one of the village elders refuses her help. Dionysus insists on throwing a banquet in celebration of his recovery, which quickly turns into an all out party. Colette and Hades slip out of when a karaoke contest becomes a thing.

Colette decides to go on a journey to see Mary, an older orphan she grew up with who was a lot like and older sister and mentor. While traveling she meets a lost noble woman, she offers her food an drink while they wait out the rain together. When the lady’s serving women finally find them, they part ways and readers learn that this woman is a lot more then she appeared to be to Colette.

Well Colette is on her journey we get to see a short story about some of the village kiddos interacting with the apprentices and her ‘big brother,” Itan. We also get a quick story about Lord Hades servants and the small ways he expresses his appreciation for the work they do with his words.

All in all it was super cute and things seem to be progressing with their relationship, even if Colette seems to be a bit oblivious at times. Lol

This series just keeps getting better and better. Lord Hades finally realized his feelings for her and started making some moves to reel her in. She's so oblivious but he seems to enjoy that part of her as well.

They had so many cute moments in this volume. I think my favorite is the side story with Zeus as a cat. He deserves to be flung back into the underworld.

The lore behind the skeletons keeps getting more detailed. They love Lord Hades so much and the slightest praise makes them blush. It's cute to see him interact with them. The underworld is slowly getting more livelier thanks to Colette.

Also ...don't tell me Itan is in love with Colette? We do not need a 3rd wheeler!!
