Synopsis

Iku Kurihara is an otaku happily living in Tokyo, keeping to himself outside of school and work and enjoying the latest anime and manga. One evening, as he is crossing a particular footbridge on his way home, he is jostled by a passerby and scatters a number of doujinshi on the ground. A good samaritan stops to help him collect his things, but Iku runs away without picking up one book, as he is aware that this person is a ghost who always haunts the bridge!

The ghost, Mimori Seo, is undeterred by Iku's escape and follows him in order to give back his lost item. Mimori is intrigued that Iku is able to see him, and despite himself, Iku is curious how Mimori can interact with physical objects. The two become roommates, and soon Iku grows concerned by Mimori's daily return to the bridge at 23:45 to seemingly reenact his death. Not only that, but every morning, Mimori reappears to Iku with no memories of the previous night! With his own hands, Iku resolves to break Mimori out of this endless cycle of having to relive his final moments.

agh i thought this had a lot of potential and was really excited for the ending but got disappointed

story: 8
the story is obviously what excited me i thought it was gonna be a tragedy but then after the twist i thought it would slowly develop and be really emotional but idek why the mangaka chose that ending its honestly such a pity

art:7
the art is good for shounen ai which i say quite often but there are a lot of ugllyyyyy boy love and its so unappealing' the only bad point is that the glasses boy or whatever has too big eyes and a ...

Honestly, this is a super interesting premise for a manga, & it even manages to tug at the heartstrings a little! Boy who can see ghosts... meets ghost boy? Awesome. Follow along with this duo as they form a bond while trying to get to the bottom of why this new ghost friend is caught stuck in a time-loop, seemingly repeating his last day indefinitely. I enjoyed the underlying mystery, & appreciated the time given to unwrap the backstory of both of these MMC's.

Also, since this is a manga— obligatory note that although the art was simple, it was beautiful! However, some pages did get ...

BORING!! Straight up boring, but I do need to note TRIGGER WARNING - attempted suicide (a side character) where one of the main characters blames themselves for it which gives them lots of trauma, then suicidal & LOTS of death thoughts by the MC & ML incase you can't read something with that.

Second of all there is NO smut in the first book, there is a scene but it is out of no where and basically skipped over which hurts the story even more because there are sooooooo many questions! I only read the first book not the sequel which myanimelist put them together. ...
