“With half a year remaining――I’m going to die as is.”

Dropping out of college and becoming a NEET, Matsumoto, Shuu, who felt it wasn’t worth living anymore, visited his alma-mater through the invitation of his long time friend, Tomi-san.

That was where he met his childhood friend turned celebrity, Kiriyama, Sayane… The wheel of fate turns for Shuu once again.

A heroine who is lonely despite being a prodigy, a protagonist who strives to become a normal person. Though different from each other, both will be drawn together through the ups and downs of their youth.

Manga adaptation of the light novel by Amasaki Mirito with character designs by Fly (フライ).

My Thoughts:

I am still not sure if the Shuu dies as we haven’t reached that part. Still, according to the Summary, it is clear that he is gonna die soon.

Overwhelmed with the thoughts of dying, he doesn’t want to anything meaningful in life. I am gonna die anyway

There’s no hope left in Shuu’s life. He just wants to laze every day until he dies.

But this story is not solely about him. This is also a story about a genius girl who wants to move forward together with the average boy. While the average boy moves away from genius, thinking he is dragging her down.

This is their bittersweet story.

This novel is similar to Your Lie in April which left me in tears and I have the same expectation with this manga. I wanted to know what will be the girl’s reaction once she knows the boy is gonna die.

Bonus Recommendation:

I Became the Villain’s Mother

Synopsis:

I have become the mother of “Ain Spenner”, the antagonist of a novel. I was supposed to be a bad stepmother who abused him as a child and was killed by him when he became an adult. But I saw the cute look on his naive and chubby face, “No, he’s so cute. He’s so young that he’s still sucking on his tiny fingers! How could I ever hurt him?” The child was so cute that I couldn’t believe that he would become a villain. And so, I decided. I will protect him! This way, he will protect me too! ~~~~ Ain’s cute little face stared coldly at Duke Cassius, “I told you not to touch me.” “Why should I listen to you?” The tension rose between the two. “You never really even liked her.” the duke’s eyes widened, no way… did Ain think of Roselia as more than a mother? Cassius could not believe it. “Stop scaring her, she might run away.” Ain said. Ain was worried that she would leave and never come back. Duke Cassius couldn’t believe it, his only son was obsessed with Roseria.
