TLDR
Overall: 4/10
Disclaimer: Due to the nature of this work—a collection of short stories—my usual evaluation parameters of Story, Art, Characters, and Enjoyment with a weighted average won't be applied. Instead, a general overview will be provided.
This world we inhabit is gentle yet melancholic, enjoyable yet sorrowful, resilient yet fleeting...
-What a Wonderful World
"What a Wonderful World" ranks among Asano's least successful works, as he once again tries to craft multiple independent narratives through short stories. "What a Wonderful World" suffers from the same flaw as "Before Dawn" and "The End of the World": it is far too underdeveloped to hold significant value. "Before Dawn" and "The End of the World" provide the closest comparison to "What a Wonderful World," almost like twins. However, some stories do offer comic relief or surreal elements that make them stand out slightly. Unfortunately, these aren't enough to redeem the overall work.
One positive aspect of this piece, consistent across all of Asano's works, is his exceptional literary quality, which shines brightly in "What a Wonderful World."
Almost no characters are memorable, as none were properly developed. Inio Asano requires time to flesh out his characters, something that doesn't happen here, which proves disastrous for his storytelling.
A saving grace of Asano's work, even when the story falters—which is rare—is the art. "What a Wonderful World" is no exception: the shading is flawless, the art style is visually stunning, imbued with his distinct personality, and the page flow remains smooth.
"What a Wonderful World" could have been much more impactful if the short stories had been interwoven into a cohesive narrative structure rather than being 19 separate tales too brief to carry any real significance. However, that didn't happen. Unlike some of his other works, "What a Wonderful World" fails to inspire growth in readers, otaku, or individuals, nor was it an engaging read. For these reasons, it doesn't warrant a recommendation and lacks even the mixed-feeling appeal, save for its art style.
The problem with this style of writing is its shallowness—it's so incredibly shallow. Let me dive into spoilers here. There are five characters who commit suicide in this work. Suicide is tossed around like a mere plot device. It's unbearably childish. Characters just say, "Oh screw it, I'm done," with absolutely no subtlety. David Foster Wallace captured suicidal ideation perfectly: “The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits don’t square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e., the fear of falling remains a constant.” This perspective highlights the difference between a poor writer and one who can truly observe something and draw new, thought-provoking conclusions.
The writing also falls into the same trap we all did as 15-year-olds: dark = mature. If I watched a movie with gore, I thought it was for adults and super mature. But that's rarely true. In fact, it's often the opposite. The story continually tries to introduce big concepts and winks at the audience, saying, "Deep and dark, right?" Some argue this is due to its short-story style, which doesn't allow for deeper exploration, but a skilled writer can delve into concepts with depth regardless of length, as DFW demonstrates.
Overall, this is a very weak work that feels somewhat insulting.
Time for a bonus round of the cringiest moments:
-tone of suicide catering to edgelords
-absurd bullying scenarios—kids can be mean, but they're not insane
-drug addicts who think they've figured everything out
-the same mentality Rick and Morty fans have: "It's so tough being smart, am I right, fellas? :)"
-weird, borderline pedophilic relationships
-bad imagery and symbolism, like "a raaaiiiinnnnnnboooowwww"
-everyone's parents are dead—like everyone's
-high school students with a vague understanding of existentialism
-teens looking at the sky philosophizing and saying things teens would never actually say
