I couldn't remember the last time I ate any meat. I hadn't cut my hair in four months, and I hadn't bought any clothing since that coat I got last winter. I'd never even gone to visit anyone since entering college. I arrived at an auto-restaurant along a former national highway. It was a wide building, and the trees growing behind seemed to loom over its roof.

I don't really know you much at all, but you don't look like a bad guy, and I guess you do like books. Must have some value, right?"Well, I don't care to know how poor you are, or how poor you've gotten. I just wanna ask you something." I honestly see Kusunoki as a lazy person, not a depressed person. I am also a depressed person, honestly I think that I don't have that much of will to live and I will just break at some point. But still, I couldn't relate to him. I couldn't relate the fact that he only created a persona and wanted to seen as a weird guy for being remembered instead of being his real self. And that did not change, in my opinion. He was both his true self but also the weird guy from an outer perspective. I thought there would have been some kind of tedious process, but it seemed like I didn't even have to give my name. Not to mention the value of something as irreplaceable as a human life could be known in just three hours. exploring the value of one's life in real money. Intricately planned, it shows how predicting one's life's value can change greatly. The protagonist has lost everything, including friends, money, hobby... And by selling 30 years of his life, he gets 30,000 yen to spend for the 3 months remaining in his life. But - and I know this is going to sound extremely stupid - even after Himeno and I went our separate ways, I always remembered that promise.

Three Days of Happiness Review • Anime UK News

It had been a long time since I'd had alcohol. It calmed me down, but maybe it wasn't such a good idea. This novel is a realistic depiction of human life. We all believe we are special and we will achieve great things in life. We have objectives in life. But imagine a scenario where we were unable to accomplish anything. Now we have no choice but to hope. It’s human nature to hope somebody something good might happen. That hope ignites our will to live.

Even if the rest of Miyagi's life is valued at a low price, it's admitted in the story that subjective happiness plays no role in deciding a lifespan's value, and instead its worth is decided by objective wealth and influence. Wasn't another message that this book tries to send is that personal happiness is more important than any fame or fortune, demonstrated when Kusunoki says, "and more than the meaningful thirty days I should have spent, these last three days will be the most precious of them all."? The novel was licensed for English release in North America by Yen Press; [4] it was released on October 20, 2020. [5] Manga [ edit ] Considering that, I was thinking maybe 300 million. When I was a child, I thought I was worth about 3 billion - so compared to that, you could say it was a rather modest estimate.

This hate comes from a personal experience. I was same with Miyagi. There was someone irreplaceable for me, a friend, but we eventually splitted. After that I realized I wasn't actually someone irreplaceable for him as well.I basically felt same with Miyagi, and seeing that the same thing happening again to her was... harsh for me. I felt really bad for her, as a reader. She was... a miserable, loner guy's emotional weight bag, his ideal. I find this toxic, the only reason she's different from Himeno is literally the time, life and lifespan. It really hurts to see all the emotions, love, are that basic and easy to influence. 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. But I was yet overestimating the value of my life. I remembered Himeno's suggestion of the average salaryman's expenditures, 200 to 300 million.It was largely the same story as what the old man at the bookstore told me, but in this man's case, apparently he actually had sold some lifespan. When I asked how much it went for, he dodged with a "Can't really tell you that." Sherman, Jennifer (November 16, 2019). "Yen Press Adds Bestia, Carole & Tuesday, 11 More Manga/Novels".

The woman who taught us from fourth to sixth grade had an understanding of this kind of problem, and as long as it wasn't too awful, kept us from having to call our parents about it. I want to know more about those standards," I said, and she gave an annoyed sigh. She must have gotten the question hundreds, thousands of times. Because one of the biggest keys to having people follow rules is their faith that they'll keep living. But if you have confirmation that your life will soon end, that all changes. You can't take that faith to the afterlife.

I was not expecting any visitors. I hadn't had one of those in years, and surely wouldn't in my last months. Keeping all the details of the Himeno dream in memory, I laid in bed thinking about yesterday's events. I'd sold all but three months of my remaining lifespan at that shoddy old building. If you didn’t get it yet, our protagonist is “terribly depressed”. This seems to be because he wanted to achieve great fame when he was a child, but that didn’t really work out and now he’s just an average Joe. The horror. Oh, and also always had trouble socializing or whatever. The average adolescent problems, but as mentioned previously, the protagonist has a terrible habit of self-pitying. The novel feels like it was made to be relatable to young unhappy people, but given the mixed messages and the moral it gives (more on that later), if you actually identify with the protagonist, consider seeking professional help. This isn’t on the level of relatively harmless self-insert of the likes of “lone wolfs” like Oreki, Hachiman or Ayanokouji. The mc here has issues and it’s not really the other’s fault. As a single novel, this is a rewarding read. Although it’s one of author Sugaru Miaki’s first works, it reads well and I’d certainly like to see the stories Miaki wrote after this localised in the future. The only real criticism I could give it is that the supernatural element of selling your life isn’t explored quite as much as it could be, but that’s a fairly minor issue. Henceforth, there will never again be a person who comes to love you. The fact that you see people as a means to fill your lonesomeness is much more transparent than you seem to think."
