I came to give this review because as a grown-up person, I cried reading this one-shot for the second time again.

Just as "Watashitachi no shiawase na jikan" is the perfect epitome of 'Forgiveness' theme.
Tokidoki is the perfect display of what "Charity" is. One can debate what he did was for his own sake. However, he did really mentioned to her he wanted to cheer her on with all his heart.
I can't find another best anime rivaling to this: a person who knows so little about the other (a stranger) to be able to give this much.
Tokidoki is again the best portrayal of ... charity, it is above kindness. I believe this manga will turnout to be at least be a surprise to you, the kindness is out of pure intent, not asking anything in return. 10/10

If you enjoy slice of life mangas, i would recommend:
Watashitachi no shiawase na jikan or Our Happy Hours.
After the Rain or Koi wa Ameagari no You ni
I sold my life for 10,000 yen a year.

Looking from a oneshot perspective, this is worth your 5 minutes.

I would recommend it to all of you who loves romcom and sometimes want an emotional story.

You would get introduced to 2 main characters which love and care for eachother. Furthermore, you would even see normal things from a different perspective - Seeing it for the first time, trying out things for the first time. And this could be your first time seeing a story like this.

I enjoyed every second reading this oneshot and even re-read it and really think how I've spent my time. If I were them what would I do? ... If you are limited by time, would you be yourself?

"Until death do us part"...

I am going to keep this review short this one-shot is pretty alright. The idea for this story is pretty cool. Pretty much this girl Takagi has a heart condition where she only has a set number of heartbeats left before she dies. Takagi leads a boring life to avoid raising her heartbeat until she meets the male lead Iijima. Through meeting Iijima she decides to let loose and enjoy her life. The concept for this story is very cool. The problem is that the story is very short. Since the story is only 1 chapter long we have to cram in all this character ... development and plot into only 54 pages. I feel like this manga could have shined if it was instead made into a short series maybe 10-15 chapters long. With this length the author would have more time to flesh out the characters and make people really connect to the both of them and their romance. But, since it was only one chapter long they had to rush through and by the end you don't really feel anything as you haven't been given enough time to connect with the characters.

Overall this one-shot was a bit too ambitious and if it was a bit longer and fleshed the characters out a bit better I think this could have have been a bit more emotional and impactful.
