Description
Nagakawa Shinichi and Sanada Yuuki both get involved in an accident and die together, but they are given a chance to live again. A voice lets them survive for seven more days. However, after the time limit, one of the two must die again.
Also, their lives will be shared, including emotions (guilt) and physical sensations (pain). They are told not to leave the other's side, else both of them will die. Now, with each of them wanting to save his/her own life, how will the next seven days of non-separation be like? Will they get along?

Spending time together in a moment. Mutual feelings with each other. Very sweet. But the sad ending. Because in fact, one of them willing to die for their loved ones. And ends with the woman who would die for the man, because she does have the disease and do not want to make the man died in vain. (Think in terms of other way)

Damn it really hurt. I hate tragedies, but I loved this one, though it should have been longer and the characters further developed.
Btw I really like billy111786 idea.

The ending is sad but there wasn't enough chapters that I can really relate to the characters. I agree that the manga should have at least 7 chapters one for each day because only 1 chapter doesn't make this manga that great. The oneshot is good but the execution like imapepper2 said is poor.
The famous Seo Kouji . . . Well, how lucky am I? The first and, at this point, the only title of his I have read is Half & Half, with which he debuted. Good thing I have been putting off Suzuka. XD
Well, yes, I highly recommend it. The story is nice and the ending is beautiful, although I wished for more seriousness. I liked how it was not emphasized that it was 'god' who gave them a second chance, but I wish more had happened between the two romantically. Also, fan-service was unfortunately lacking.
Give it a shot. The artwork is pretty good. *Thumbs up*

The ending twist is somewhat ... disappointing (a bit forceful and Korean-drama like, which I dislike most). Should ve extended to some more chapters to captivate the love developing between 2 characters, since IMO its the best thing about this one-shot (and is what this mangaka is best at, after reading some of his works).
There is a series that does extend this story, somewhat changes the plot to be more logical and is at chapter 3 at the moment of this writing. It is however way less emotional evoking :\

Most of the oneshot I read doesn't have decent ending. Well, couldn't blame the mangaka, maybe they try to make it a series. Only a few oneshot could bring story to a decent closure, and this is one of the few.
As for the series counterpart of this story, it did what the oneshot couldn't do, character development. I think the mangaka tried to make readers empathize the story and the character more with this series. Will see how well it comes out.

it was a good read...
well there was something good in the ending and it didnt made me feel all that bad about someone dying in the end because of the great plot!!!
even though it was only a oneshot it has substance!!!

When I started reading this story, I had mixed feelings about it, but I was very surprised how good the story was, unfortunately with sad endind but still very good.
Artwork is good too, it has been a while since something catch my eye like this...

The one-shot was in no way lacking but this expansion is really pleasing even with the unnecessary drama. The slower pacing of the relationship build makes it even more meaningful. I can't decide which ending is better, the oneshot seems more impactful but the expanded is just better for storytelling. One of Seo Koijis less anger inducing works.(MC's are not stupid and are likeable from the start.)

I loved how the author developed the characters feeling in the serialization as much as he did in the one shot. It was an interesting twist from the one shot, with both setting and ending tweaks. But one thing left me a bit annoyed and its just cause I'm being picky. I wanted to see how bad the ex-girlfriend and best friend feel knowing he really did die after the 7 days.
