I've always been eager to read this One-Shot from the cover and title alone, and am overjoyed at how great it was in exceeding my expectations. 

I had to reread some scenes a few times to comprehend the message and point of this story.
Even though Nene forgot her present life of being dead, with Rintaro as her husband and their daughter, she came worried about him on how he'd deal with her death. Anxious that he'd be depressed and lose focus on fully caring for their daughter.

Fortunately, she reassures him. Knowing that he's doing his best, all while meeting her when she had amnesia at the same time as caring for his daughter, and that who he treasures most now is his daughter. Thus, he doesn't have to worry anymore, and can move on in peace off his grief. 

It's intriguing in the sense, unlike most common ghost stories, she doesn't remain as a ghost without passing on because of regret, but because of worry for her lover and daughter. Which is a little less common. 
It's fairly simple, but extremely charming it its portrayal and art, with a thrilling twist and bittersweet ending. 
What's great in this simple dramatic story is that it's not the mediocre type with poor writing that forces drama, creating a fake lifeless attempt to relay sadness in a story. 

Even though it arguably lacks better hints of Rintaro's struggling grief (albeit with his loved one present to forget about it) and anxiety to fully care for his daughter... this story is very well presented, even if the plot is simple. It's beautiful. 9/10.

I completely agree with what you said. Probably one of the best oneshot I’ve ever read.

I stumbled upon this manga by accident and after finishing it all I can say that I didn't expect it to be that good. Very nicely told and planned out story featuring subtle paranormal elements, illustrations pleasant to the eye, mature themes, lovely looking food. It's easily one of the best one-shot manga I've ever read.

how to execute an overwritten theme and still make it out fresh and pull out the audience's heartstring.The short,concise oneshot did exactly that.Very nice.
