Ever dreamed of ditching your soul-crushing job and just... relaxing? Well, one overworked deity in the manga Let This Grieving Soul Retire certainly has! This isn't your typical epic battle manga; it's a surprisingly chill and funny take on divine burnout.
Godhood: It's Harder Than It Looks
Imagine being responsible for literally everything. That's the gig our protagonist, known only as the Grieving God, has. He's seen eons, managed countless crises, and frankly, he's just plain tired.
Instead of unleashing world-ending fury, he just wants to retire. The problem? There's no HR department in the heavens.
His solution? To find a replacement. A task that proves far more complicated and hilarious than he anticipates.
Enter the Unlikely Successors
The manga introduces a colorful cast of potential replacements. Each one is more quirky and less qualified than the last.
There’s the overly enthusiastic angel who's obsessed with paperwork. Then there’s the demon lord who’d rather nap than cause chaos. The search for a suitable successor turns into a divine comedy of errors!
Think of it as a celestial office sitcom, with a dash of existential dread and a whole lot of awkward interviews. It's definitely not what you'd expect from a story about gods.
More Than Just a Divine Sitcom

The manga cleverly uses its fantastical setting to explore very human anxieties. It reminds us that even gods need a break sometimes.
