Colette Decides to Die / コレットは死ぬことにした
Some info about this manga
- Greek mythology inspired romance
- Very fluffy romance
- Slow burn
- My favourite manga!
A quick recap
Colette Decides to Die is a story featuring both normal everyday humans, and Greek gods. Our two main characters come from both categories: Colette, a regular human who works as a doctor, and Hades, the god of the underworld.
Colette is a doctor residing in a rural village. As she puts her patients before all else, she is incredibly overworked and often sleep-deprived. This is what lead to her first meeting with Hades, she ends up working as a doctor to both humans, and gods.
Personality-wise, Colette is an incredibly kind girl who always does her best to help those around her. As a doctor, she sees it as her life mission to help those around her, and to be a good successor to the doctor who raised her. She isn’t scared of much at all, as one day when she woke up in the underworld surrounded by supernatural creatures, she wasn’t taken aback at all, and eventually made friends with everyone.
