Story Synopsis

He likes music and dislikes traffic jams.

It always rains when he works.
Chiba, a cool and serious Grim Reaper, blends into the human world and spends seven days investigating to decide whether to approve or reject the "death" of the target.
He goes on trips with people who do not know their own fate and finds himself in dire situations.

A masterpiece short story collection featuring strange interactions between a Grim Reaper and humans that will get you hooked.

Impressions

Although it is a series of interconnected short stories that each stand on their own,the unique atmosphere that flows through every storyleaves a lasting impression.
As I mentioned at the beginning, even though it deals with the existence of a Grim Reaper, it is a work where you feel a strange warmth and humor rather than heaviness.

Within the detached narrative style, the importance of small daily choices and human connections naturally emerges.
I felt that after finishing it, it is a book that leaves a quiet lingering feeling, as if the way you see the world has changed just a little.

This is a work I would definitely like those who haven't read it yet to pick up.
