Wonderful

What would you do, if you were going to die soon? Who and what really matters in your life?
This is a beautiful story about life or rather about different perspectives on life. Somewhere depressing, yet cheerful. Seemingly simple and yet complex.

I definitely recommend this, especially a great read for those days where you just feel a little bit empty.

Certainly worth the read, but maybe follow my tip below.

Rating: 9.9 / 10.0

I gave this a 9.9. It's well-written and combines a depressive story with a bitter-sweet ending.
It's close enough to a masterpiece to count as one, yet there is something that keeps me from giving it that 10/10, not that I could name it. Maybe it's a bit too long, a bit too drawn out, short as it is.
But if you wanted me to name a specific example of something that could have been done better, I would say that would be the extra chapter at the end. Instead of adding it on as an extra chapter, I would have liked to have it immersed in the story itself, as it kind of gets in the way of the feels of the end.
My suggestion to you: Read the 16 chapters, then take a short break.
Once you've had time to digest the story, but before you entirely lose the sensations of reading it, come back and read the 16.5 extra. It's a good chapter, but it's also slightly disruptive where it currently is.

Three days of happines...

by Gandeloft

Rating: N/A

I will try to be brief. I've read the (light) novel with the manga next to it so as to have the manga provide me with some visualization. It was great for that.
The extra chapters (the two .5 chapters) don't exist at all in the novel.
The differences in between the manga and the novel are such that the novel has more details and some smaller parts of the narrative.
Things such as:

- The name of Kusunoki's neighbour is mentioned in the manga (Shinbashi)

The name of Miyugi's childhood friend is mentioned (Enishi)

Kusunoki gave away his money to the people wallking in the street, whereas in the manga he threw it into the water below.

When Kusunoki arrived to the old book store to seek advice from the old man, prior to asking him how to improve himself (I can't exactly remember the question), him and the old men spent some time simply conversing about nothing of great importance, haning out.

The manga offered me the visualizations which I sometimes couldn't envision myself, be it that of the scenery in the story or that of the characters' conduct and appearance.
It helped me immerse.

There are painful things in this story, things "everyone" would appreciate having had a different conclusion. It is what it is and it's what makes the story what it is.
Don't read the spoiler below unles you've read the story as I'll talk about what I think of with the previous sentence. Also, I will make a spoilerish comparison with Yui Narumi from Ao Haru Ride.

Himeno.
Everything about her turned out to be difficult to process and accept.
I feel like she was not treated fairly by the story, but that's what makes it realistic. She mildly reminds me of Narumi Yui from Ao Haru Ride in the way of how sad the story is for them, though Yui's story is not nearly as disturbing and difficult to accept.
Kusunoki not having pursued Himeno in any way after he got to know everything was sad for me, but understandable. The thing is.. Kusunoki was genuinely Himeno's whole world, or at least the last thing she'd cared about, the person she thought there was salvation in. For her it was him just like for him it was her. Her soul was torn in some way by what her future yielded to her and the reason why she's stuck in my mind is that I believe that she could have been fixed. Perhaps if there'd been no Miyagi he wouldn't have given up on her. Yes, even with the knowledge of what the future had been. Simply look at what turned out of his life as compared to what it would've been. That means that any change was possible.
How this story ends makes for good seeds of thoughts which will make me feel like I'm suffocating when they enter my mind as I'm trying to fall asleep. I will never have such perfection, and the two who've found it, only have 3 days before they are gone. But when I'll think of Himeno, there will be none of that suffocating feeling, I will feel anxiety, I will be afraid of what became of her life and what became of her in that life. She is how real life works unfortunately.
Poor Himeno, what a tragic character!!

I feel like the novel made this an overal better experience than had I just read the manga.

It's a great story and it ends with making me feel like I'm suffocating and making me feel like crying, with an ephemeral point, at least for me.

Absolutely great short manga

by Theoneyedsnake
5 years ago

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

The art was good and the story was very good, but the way the author presented the main topic, a topic that has been overused but never presented in the right way. Absolutely astounding.

The author doesn’t beat around the bush, every chapter felt meaningful in my opinion. The characters developed at a reasonable pace given how little chapters there were.

Most of all, the main message the author tried to convey was presented in a great manner. Some authors that try to make a meaningful manga using the same topic typically fall short in my opinion as the emotions, characters or plot always seem forced into the direction of the message. But the author did a great job of simply guiding the story to present the main topic throughout.

Touching

by jackblk

Rating: N/A

It's been a while since i've read a manga that is this touching. I would just rate it 9 but after finishing it, who can stop the feeling of rating it 10?

The story telling somehow made me feel connected to the characters. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth thinking of the ending though... Seriously, this is why i hate tragedies.

A beautiful, heart-warming story

This was a beautiful, heart-warming story of the final days of a person's life. It starts off a little depressing, but quickly picks up. Nearly every chapter of this drama was an enjoyable read.

The romance part has its flaws but it's better than most romance manga

by AnimeWatcher06

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

I really enjoy drama, especially when it comes to life drama. So I usually look for a manga, anime or novel that has a depressed or suicidal main characters because they tend to focus on what the main character's think about. And this one is one of the rare ones that could satisfy me. I admit that the romance part was kinda weak. But I've read a novel titled Starting Over by the same author and I think the author has some progression in creating a romance story. I enjoy how he tells a romance story because it tends to focus on the two main characters and doesn't use a cheap misunderstanding love triangle trick to create drama, and it includes this one. What I like about the author's story telling is how meaningful the dialogue and the massage is.Something you'll rarely find nowadays.
