*****Thematic Spoilers*****I wouldn’t even say that this was a romance, even though it was explicitly one. The reason I say this is because it’s a manga about getting past your fears. “One who is satisfied can never be deceived.”(not said in the manga, just a quote I keep to myself) Takagi, who learned to continue her passion regardless of death, realized that the idea of death is that it exists to kill our dreams, making us unaware of what we can achieve in a lifetime. We, as people, are highly limited and are forced to conform to societal standards, which is why we always worry
...
about what we can do in a short period instead of a lifetime. Amusingly like the idea of turning in a project in one night giving us so much stress, instead of what job we may have in 15 years.
This manga serves to remind us that though we are finite beings, we’re definitely allowed to dream beyond who we are. This is shown through the interactions between Hatsu and Hato. It attacks the purpose of life, proposing that humans purely exist to ‘chase,’ not to arrive at some destination. ‘Live in the moment,’ is the encapsulation I’d give this one shot. Oh, it’s a 9/10 because it’s only a one shot and I’m left starving for more, but I guess hunger would be an effect from any good work. I wouldn’t be lying if I said that this is a 10/10 too. I’m just not used to reading one shots.
Honestly, just forget what I said and give this a read. I took a lot from it because I think about the themes mentioned quite a bit, so I have a bias. (Also I commented this on mangafire.to, just felt a need to place this here too.)
