I can't believe this series has no reviews, and I definitely can't believe its average rating is so low! I'm not huge into going into massive in-depth reviews of series, but I will say one thing about this one. It is definitely a must-read. The message it is able to deliver along with its character development in only 12 chapters is something that I have only experienced a couple of times while reading manga. (Three Days of Happiness included). This manga is one that you are clearly able to understand the authors message, but it does not take away the impact the message has. The ... purpose of the manga is also presented in such a beautiful way, that I can't help but find it an extremely enjoyable read. At the end of the day, it is hard to find such a hard-hitting manga with such few chapters, that you will definitely not regret taking time out of your day to read this one.

Just finished this, and all I gotta say is wow that was great.

I wasn't really expecting much because of the premise but honestly it reminds me alot about the manwha called "About Death"

We as people, once in our lives, sooner or later are gonna lose someone. Alot of us have regrets in our life, and for most, we can't change anything about our regrets, we live with them everyday. Mabye forget about them for a week, a month even. But they eventually come back whenever you are most vulnerable, and insecure. We live with regrets and we eventually die with them never fulfilling ... or coming to terms with it.

In this manga, those people that die with those regrets. Can't pass on. They are sorta like ghosts but they can interact with people. But once they finnaly pass on every memory they make in those of others after they die vanish. That's the whole concept of lost time, reality shifts shifts the deceased out of people's memories once they vanish.

The main character as you read from the synopsis is a shinigami who gets paid to help the deceased pass on.

Now I get to the part why you should read this..Well for one the art is really good made by the same person who drew "I had the same dream again" The story deals with heavy topics ranging from: Child abuse, murder, and unconditional love. And for such a short manga, it really fleshes these concepts and the charcters involved with them out. Makes u wanna root for these charcters to find happiness and finnaly pass on to the other side.

Happiness is another theme in this story, for the deceased though, they can't make any more happy moments with the people they love because they are dead. Instead they have to live in those happy moments, untill its eventually their time to go. I'm doing a bad job of explaining this, but the way the manga handles it will make alot more sense.

Overall, you wanna see these characters find happiness and move on. I guarantee there are gonna be some plot twists you won't expect, and for such a short read it finishes off well, and left little to no plot holes when it was finished.

For a quite short manga, it delivers well.
The story of this manga revolves around the theme of life, regret, and human beings. It's trying to be that manga that has deep meaning, and provoke heartwarming feelings. But tbh, the delivery isn't very good. This manga feels like it tries to copy that other manga where the MC sold his life for cheap etc. Although got the premise right, it delivers with no more than OK to just. The series try to be deep and add cliche foreshadowing and well... it's fine i guess. But nothing amazing. Good drama, quite likeable cast (too edgy), art is ... meh, it delivers, just nothing that amazing.
Overall manga experience a solid 7/10.
