It is not a novel that wants to highlight an attachment to material goods, fame and all the glories that we can experience in our lifetime. On the contrary, I think the series tries to show the importance of living a modest (not miserable) life. And also to show that death is inevitable. In fiction, death is often portrayed in a very negative way as a kind of tragedy. It's normal that we feel sad at the idea of losing a loved one or that we don't have time to do things (before we die) but this novel tries to draw away from this aspect, not to glorify a suicidal attitude, but to show that death will necessarily happen one day. But tbh it's a vision that can be difficult to accept. I don't really get it. |

TuyNOM said: Supposed life of renowned artist. Do you really think it's realistic to become a world-class artist from a scratch in just that little days left. And keep in mind that's not a whole life worth, just those less than 30 days.abystoma2 said: Three days that he decides to have against a life of renowned artist...And it does so by having the characters turn down mediocre life for measly three days of "fulfilling" life, which goes directly against this message. And by stating that the initial life was practically worthless and not even worth of living through, of course. So the novel goes - sacrifice most of your life in exchange for money - fall in love by a pure chance - unlock back your talent - sacrifice most of the little you have left anyway. If anything, the novel shows how worthless overwhelming majority of his life would have been. The story sends conflicting messages, sure. The author might have wanted to show the value of life, but did the exact opposite. Not to mentione that the protagonist gained worth only because he was talented. Not because he actually bettered himself, he just started using something he had right from the start. The novel is pretty much saying that he would keep being worthless without his talent and throwing such "worthless" life away had been a good decision. Think about what the moral of that is. |

| this was great my only nitpick tho is i wish after he paid her debt she disappeared and we never see her again not knowing if this whole thing actually happened or if the mc was just losing his damn mind |

| The author really loves playing with fundamentals of life, pretty good story |

| I don't quite understand the ending. How could he pay off the debt of Miyagi? Earlier it was said that his life was only worth 30 Yen and that Miyagi lied to him while assessing his worth, making it higher than it should be. So... If he sold off the remaining 3 months or what it was, how could he get enough money from his 30 Yen worth life to pay off Miyagis debt? Or was the remaining life at the second selling worth more because he became a happy person in the end? I bet I was just missing one detail, but which one? |

| I only found out now that this was added, truly one of the best works I have ever read nothing compares with happiness, be it lasting for 3 days or 3 years, happiness is happiness, it could last for only a moment I'd rather be happy 3 days than live a worthless unfulfilling life for 90 years. Keep in mind that happiness here refers to true bliss, that one moment where the human is living at his best (not shallow happiness like kissing a girl that one day) |

| Hmm, not the ending I was expecting, but still good. The last part where the whole town starts playing along to Miyugi being real is imo much weaker than the rest of the story. My second problem (as an artist myself) is the romantization of MC's abilities to draw. It's just not believable that he was "gifted" in the middle school, dropped the pencil around 17, then tried again at 19 (nothing came out of it) and at the end of the story he would just randomly start drawing again after being inspired and over the span of 30 days he would go to become a masterful artist in the likes of de Chirico. Just no lol. It just feels like the writer does not know anything about how art is done and refused to make at least a little research about it, unfortunately. Though I must say everything before that is written masterfully and hit me in the way that sometimes made me uncomfortable. Really good novel but not a masterpiece imo. Maybe a reread would change my mind on that |
Brati said: I'm so late but it was explained by Miyagi that how a person's life value was determined is by the impact it has on the world and on other people. If you were someone who discover/invent/contribute something amazing or just have a meaningful place in other people's life, each of your years would be worth a lot.I don't quite understand the ending. How could he pay off the debt of Miyagi? Earlier it was said that his life was only worth 30 Yen and that Miyagi lied to him while assessing his worth, making it higher than it should be. So...

Or was the remaining life at the second selling worth more because he became a happy person in the end? I bet I was just missing one detail, but which one? In the original "timeline" Kusunoki's life would amount to nothing. He would remain a bitter, hateful shut-in not interacting with anyone or doing anything with his life. Eventually he would get into an accident that would permanently disfigure him which would amplify his negative traits. This utterly "worthless" life was only worth 30 yen in total, pretty much nothing. However during his final months he was going out, celebrating his life and talking to and interacting with the townspeople and eventually everyone knew him and were happy to see him. He was as he described it, the lovable clown of the town lifting everyone's spirits. By being so impactful in other people's lives to the point where he will be so dearly missed, his life value shot up by so much he was able to pay off most of Miyagi's debt (this part I feel is a stretch but I won't hold it against the author and will just accept the message he was trying to convey). |

BlufaceBaby said: I did really like the story and even the end but now reading this comment, I think if she disappeared would be a better ending. the ambiguousness of the ending would make it much more interesting to read and discuss aboutthis was great my only nitpick tho is i wish after he paid her debt she disappeared and we never see her again not knowing if this whole thing actually happened or if the mc was just losing his damn mind |
