This manga is probably one of the best presentations of the harsh world we live in. The expectations from people for someone to achieve certain goals. The false hope that "something good" may happen at some point. The realization of the hidden thoughts of those around you. Although it is relatively short, this is a very unique manga, read more
Youth is a complicated age. Time to make decisions, to face a myriad of risks and to move on, it usually never comes in the way one was expecting it. Overall, what mostly matters is trying. This manga introduces us to a fairly read more
Is it possible to die satisfied? Surely we will all have doubts, the "I wish I'd done this", as we contemplate all the things we could've done differently had we known how short and unforgiving life truly is. However, if you were given a timestamp what would you do? How would YOU live out your given amount of days? Doesn't it seem futile? You're going to eventually die anyway, so why even bother? Is there any point in living in the first place? This is the true mystery of life; we all know we will die someday read more
Presenting a real modern real life problems, then mixing it up with a touch of fantasy "what if i sell my lifespan", then we get this as a story. maybe this manga wasnt and can never be one of my favs, but i am making sure it is one the story progression and meanings I will remember. It is not too bad and also not over the top, a so so. i like this, and hoping for whoever read this manga(and the novel) would cherrish their lifes more. by any mean, this is not a despairing manga.
I had no intention of going through this all in a day, but I had to finish what was unfolding before me. I also had no intention of writing this review, but here I am. It is my job to not let anyone reading this review pass up on this series, and I will tell read more
But what I read didn't feel anything like what was described to me. The story of the main two were somewhat soft and cute, but it stops at just that. I had to force myself to continue every chapter, with the only thing pulling me forward was just wanting to find out what was going to happen at the very end. Personally, the read more
What’s so beautiful about this story is the subjective understanding of what happiness is, and what gives life meaning. We find the main character, Kusunoki, at a failing point in his life, where to find any enjoyment out of the life he no longer cares for, he decides to sell the rest of his life away. Ultimately, the story transitions to one of reconciliation in the face of tragedy between Kusunoki and Miyagi. The build up to their relationship is beautifully developed, to the point where I truly didn’t even expect there to be a read more
The feeling of a depressed and desolate 20 year old man can be felt through his actions and dialogue and the way the author has drawn the world around him makes it feel empty and desolate. This feel is established from the very outset with the mc selling all his stuff read more
H-hey, D-Don't play with my feelings! What the fvck is the meaning of this,man? Just what the fvck??? Man it was full of happyness and wholesomeness,YOU SOLD IT ALL! YOU SOLD MY FEELINGS,MY HAPPYNESS!!!!!!! Damn dude just why...WHYYYY GODDAMN IT read more
It seems everywhere you go there is that pessimistic title for you to watch or read in this medium. It goes with no question as to why, sometimes the dark things in life get the most of us, so obviously people can relate (I honestly have no clue why they exist tho, you are asking the wrong person). In any case, the whole theme of someone being at the bottom of the barrel in their life seems to be loved read more
(WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS) "Jumyou wo Kaitotte Moratta. Ichinen ni Tsuki, Ichimanen de." is a manga of 18 chapters written by Sugaru Miaki, very short indeed, but that will still manage to stay in your heart forever, with a wonderful message that will change how you see life. The plot is pretty simple: The protagonist, Kusunoki, is an adult unsatisfied with life who can't seem to forget his childhood friend Himeno, whom he promised to marry after he would become famous in his adulthood. However Kusunoki is very far from being a celebrity, and he in fact is read more
I stumbled across a screenshot of this manga on social media, and so I did what usually do at 3 am when I find a promising manga - I binged the entire thing in one sitting. And holy shit was that an incredible read. Where do I begin? Enter Kusunoki, a man with nothing to lose, nor anything to gain in his life - and in a couple hasty decisions that no sane person would usually make, he puts a ticking time bomb on his life for a small wad of cash - but again, he's got nothing to lose, nor anything to gain, so fuck read more
SPOILERS BELOW To the point - this manga is very different from what the story looks like at the first glance. Money, time, sold lifespan all of these are symbols used by the author to tell the story. The actual story is nothing but the imagination of MC. The first 2 chapters where the author introduce us with MC and leads him to Miyagi are the introduction - a love story between the two starts there when he meets Miyagi and she gives him 300k. The money should be read more
Warning! Contains minor spoiler. Story 9/10 - It's about a guy who were worthless to society and ended up selling his 30 years of life. Times by 10K (as the title mentioned), thus, he get his ¥300,000. And so, the story about how he spend his ¥300,000 start... or so it seemed. The tours that the author gave were really made you forget your time reading it. It read more
STORY: 5/10 The story is the definition of mediocre. It has a premise straight out of the tripe read more
The superiority of quality over quantity is described not only by the story, but even at the meta level, being only 18 chapters, or 16 if not counting the extras. Clear and concise chapters, not necessarily brimming with story or art, but having a perfect balance between positive and negative space; Masterpiece would not be the best term for it, rather a flower blooming just before it wilts, throughout its short life producing an immense amount of beauty. Similarly, through its storytelling, the manga portrays the beauty of simplicity, but beyond that, human connection. In psychology, the Self Determination Theory states that read more
What would you do with the time you have remaining? Knowing not how much time we have left, I was glad I could've read this beautiful story that deals with such. If you love romance and just want a good sweet story with a lot of feels, I would say this is one to pick up. I read more |
