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.

Being an adult is not all what its cut out to be.

This manwha follows a young woman named Yoon Ah-ee. Her father recently got in debt and now is away from the house, and now she is stuck barely surviving and taking care of her sister. Despite all of this she is very smart just lacks the money and proper parenting. Recently she got a new part time job after getting fired from her old one. She soon gets money but then the precious money that she needed flew away, she desperately follows it and it leads her to this abandoned fair ground.

She ... then meets a man who is a magician at the fairground. This is where this story starts. I know alot of you have already seen the synopsis but this will be important later on..

As the story gets developed more we see the theme of 'growing up' and being 'a adult.' With the main character making that statement frequently.

But later on in the story she comes to realize that every grown up is still a child on the inside whether they like to show it or not. This is most shown in the magician named 'R' he was sorta like Yoon Ah-ee except he was rich when he was younger. He got good grades and everyone had a great expectations for him. On the inside though 'R' was just blindly following the path that his siblings took without much consideration of what he going to do in the future. This ultimately boiled over into him becoming stressed and dropping out, and following his child like dream to become a magician. 'R' Is a very real representation of how much stress can get put on in younger generations about the future, some can't live up to the expectations and become failures to their parents.

The main message that I got from this story is that, you have to worry about your future a little bit, but you don't want to live in the future and not see what is around you in the present because what will you gain from living in the future and not enjoying yourself now. No matter how much money you make or fame you attain it won't matter if you live in the future.

Art wise I really liked the art, there are a couple weird images in it, it's almost like the other edited in a picture from google and put in in the manwha. But that's kinda why I liked it.

Characters: I couldn't say I got attached to any of the characters but they did seem very real, and dealt with very real concerns that real people deal with everyday.

Overall, for such a short manwha it was really enjoyable, and it gives you a valuable lesson about stress, growing up, and being an adult.
