underrated hidden fire. the last chapter [not the extra, ch 16] makes it go from amazing to peak. money, fame etc wasnt worth anything to him when he was dead. he took care of the one he loved, built great relationships and made his time left worthwhile. the chemistry between miyagi and kusonoki was slow burn and really cute. i loved their personalities and watching them grow fond of each other. the manga also didnt shy away from the bitterness of being lonely, facing trauma and holding deep grudges. the whole vibe is a melancholy acceptance of impending doom, but also appreciation of the inevitable and making peace through doing everything you possibly can so that you don't have regrets. in fact, it was so realistic it almost made me feel queasy or sick to my stomach.

the whole thing of phoning in your day to day while waiting for something good to happen. i mean im sure a lot of people live like that. the majority of people do, don't they? alot of it was really uncomfortable because it makes you look at your own life and your own choices. you never know when youre doing to die, but when youre given an exact time and date, what will you do with your remaining time?

i thought kusonoki had really nice character development - from begrudgingly getting through his day to day with a bad attitude, to appreciating the ones he loves and making the most of his time left through self sacrifice. in the end he says his 3 days with miyagi is worth more than the 30 years he would have lived alone. i loved that shit mannn. i really enjoyed reading this, definitely give it a chance. its a quick read too, just 16.5 chaps. worth your time for sure.
