April 17th, 2024: Wednesday's Melancholic Gem
In death, we gain a new understanding in someone's story. How someone dies, the last words they leave for others are all telling things about the person. However, the death of an animal (at this time) is only a story we can uncover for them...through veterinary forensics! A chance meeting Kenshou Touma has with his classmate Barato Sousuke and a strange case with crows sets him on a journey to uncover the mysteries behind animal deaths.
Last Karte by Asayama Wakabi
Last Karte - Houjuuigakusha Touma Kenshou no Kioku //ラストカルテ-法獣医学者 当麻健匠の記憶-
TYPE: Manga
TAGS: Mystery, Slice-of-Life, Drama, Medical
DEMOGRAPHIC: Shounen
STATUS: Completed* (95 chapters)
Perhaps this is why this story would be to your liking:
This manga follows a case by case structure, with each mystery spanning a couple of chapters. The mystery is not so much a gripping detective story or anything, but leaves you aching to know how the animal's death came to be (in a very educational manner of course). There is no overarching plot per say, but time is always passing. Also call it personal bias, but I think this kind of story telling structure is a good way of focusing on those interesting parts of the characters' lives but also letting them grow older in their ever moving lives.
In understanding death, we can understand life. Animals die in this manga. It's a fact of being alive, but this manga balances both an emotional and scientific approach to death. Sometimes, the animals that pass are wild animals, sometimes they're zoo animals and sometimes they're pets but regardless it is somber to think about how one lived as it did and eventually reached the end of that life. There are many cases so there are bound to be a few that tickle your eyes into tears.
Animal facts galore! This mangaka knows animals alright. Ever detailed art of animals, the diverse amount of animals and the most unique element is those facts used in tandem with forensics. Exploring the relationship between animals and humans, this manga opens many unique perspectives on how we live day to day with these creatures. After all, why do we study animals? I think its because we can learn more about ourselves through learning about animals. Yes, this manga embodies that idea as well.
Well! I’m off to read some more!
ENGLISH FAN TRANSLATION:
*Chapter 94 just released today, with an author announcement that next week is the final chapter! (I was there, at 5 in the morning, don't talk to me about it). Call this my personal last karte for this manga (should I have done this post the week after ?!). In celebration, I will recommend something quite similar to fill the void next week! Honestly, I can't believe its ending already... we can honestly continue for 20 more cases right?
The fan-translation is still set to continue for some time, so its not time for me to mourn yet. Maybe this is the equivalent of reading an autopsy report after the manga's death? I'll shut up now.

i cannot stop thinking abt the scene when jesse cries in walt’s arms in the crackhouse. it’s been plaguing my brain for months. i’m sitting in class n all i can’t think abt is jesse crying his little orbs out
(brba spoiler warning for the mfs that i know irl)
i mean, my god, EVERYTHING about this
walt calling jesse son. jesse immediately locking his arms around walt & desperately clinging onto him for support. walt actually seeming to care about jesse’s state for the first time in a WHILE. jesse immediately going from super out of it to WEEPING into his arms. walt’s evil evil little face of guilt after jesse sobs about jane’s death being all his fault.
breaking bad is a comedy show until a Situation occurs & jesse’s crying sucker punches you in the gut
i h8 this show
