Synopsis

Helpless and struggling for cash, 20-year-old Kusunoki sells the last of his possessions to buy food. Noticing his poverty, an old shop owner directs him to a store that supposedly purchases lifespan, time, and health. While not completely believing the man's words, Kusunoki nevertheless finds himself at the address out of desperation and curiosity.

Kusunoki is crushed when he finds out the true monetary value of his lifespan—totaling a meager three hundred thousand yen. Deciding to sell the next 30 years of his life for ten thousand yen per year, Kusunoki is left with only three months to live. After heading home with the money, he is greeted by an unexpected visitor: the same store clerk he sold his lifespan to. She introduces herself as Miyagi, the one tasked with the job of observing him until the last three days of his life.

Jumyou wo Kaitotte Moratta. Ichinen ni Tsuki, Ichimanen de. follows the remaining three months of Kusunoki's life as he confronts lingering regrets from the past and discovers what truly gives life value.

The story about a man who wants to sell his life because he thinks it would make him survive. Then, here comes the observer who is a girl named Miyagi . Both of them develop a relationship and make each other the wish’ response.
Characters development is the most tears-jerking things when it’s coming to this manga.

Seems like Wim wonders movie double bill, Wings of desire and Faraway, so close. The ending still touching me .
I like the gramps character which the story has not told much about.

So good like someone always watching me spending my life although I can’t see them. Maybe the ...

Mixed Feelings

This work is depressing. Despite it's attempt to refute this through making the leads happy with their situation by having each other, it feels unrealistic that someone would take this all in stride. So if you're in a bad place at the moment, I'd say it's a coin flip whether this will make you feel better or worse.

Through it's painfully obvious suicide allegory, it asks what the value of the rest of your life may be. It directly refutes the idea that your life is priceless and not to be given up. An unhappy life, to the original author and the mangaka who adapted it, ... is not worth living. The lead, giving up all but the last 3 months of his life for a pittance, increases the value of his life through his resignation. He begins living the last days of his life wrapping up loose ends from his past, and enjoying his time with the female lead. Because he knows he will die soon, he ultimately becomes more happy with his life. This is something that is actually seen from people who plan to end their own life.

The main "message", if you will, is fairly unique in this way. Most works dealing with the subject would say the opposite. You can make things better, you are not doomed to a life lived unhappily. This makes the manga, and the original novel, a worthwhile read if only to see a rarely explored perspective.

Though, despite the refutation, it does ultimately play with some of the same arguments used against itself, while not agreeing with it's conclusion. It makes known the arbitrariness of assigning a value to a life. The mystical evaluation system is ultimately a superior deciding subjectively the price of a subjects lifespan. Also, while not explicitly making this point like it does all others, it shows all the people who sell their life as impoverished individuals. People who are statistically less likely to have valuable lives by the systems criteria. Ironic that the very people most willing to sell off their lives (time and health too) are the people who will benefit the least from it. The capitalism metaphor is obvious.

Despite the taking things a normal person wouldn't thing. I do find the lead as a mostly realistic depiction. Through the small oddities and hobbies of his, it serves to humanize him in a way I like. Kusunoki is a failed artist who like taking pictures of random things and has a small fascination with vending machines. He likes reading and music because, as he describes it, they're simply ways to pass the time. But because of this, he's capable of sudden moments of pontification and poetry.

The work does fall into one of the more problematic tropes of the romance manga genre. The main character early on considers assaulting the female lead, and she takes it as a compliment (seriously why is this a common thing). Consent is oddly brought up multiple times, once as mentioned, once to be laughed at, and a third to be given up freely, but oddly in a way that intentionally calls back to the first instance.

Ultimately, it's an interesting read, with realistic enough, if not likeable leads. Sadly, because of the depressing atmosphere it can't shake and problematic issues, I can't recommend it to every reader.

O autor quis passar uma mensagem com um manga e não fazer uma manga com uma mensagem, gerando uma história que não tem importância ou lógica. Entretanto com o tempo as coisas se invertem, a mensagem perde importância enquanto a história ganha destaque fazendo uma bagunça completa. Nisso tudo ainda existe uma necessidade ensandecida de gerar identificação com o leitor, que na prática estabelece uma conexão apenas com os imaginários de uma adolescência frustrada. Em resumo, essa tentativa de gerar identificação com uma história totalmente artificial para um tema tão vago é bem deprimente e digno de pena.
