“You’re gonna die in seven days.” Most people would break down in tears upon hearing such words from the Grim Reaper himself. But when Aibi, a terminally ill teenager, is given her fate, she simply smiles, thanks him for the warning, and even calls him kind—leaving the Reaper utterly baffled. No one acknowledged their existence until they found each other in this story about a love that blooms beyond death.
Ooooh I love Hanahaki disease and this is such an interesting interpretation of it. A girl who is shunned by her mother becomes a shinigami’s beloved while she is dying. It’s a really cute and bittersweet manga that surprised me with the shounen elements. I’m excited to see where it will go. I think the designs are phenomenal and there’s lots of seeds planted (har har) for future plot.
