Not sure if anyone is reading but they have finally turned it into a serialization in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine

Synopsis

Nagakawa Shinichi and Sanada Yuuki both get involved in an accident and die together, but they are given a chance to live again. A voice lets them survive for seven more days. However, that after the time limit, one of two must die again. Also, their lives will be shared, including emotions (guilt) and physical sensations (pain). They are told not to leave the other's side, else both of them die. Now, with each of them wanting to save his/her own life, how will the next seven days of non-separation be like? Will they get along?

I remember loving the one shot, it was short and sweet.

That being said, the serialized version has a horny main character, selfish heroine, bastard best friend, and cheating girlfriend

Hopefully it won't be a never ending, facepalmworthy drama series anymore like KNIM (which i had dropped long time ago because of such fact)

Kikuchi · 2013-01-08, 09:35

I just read the pilot and the first 3 chapters of the serialization. The short story was good and everything, but it makes me wonder what they'll do with the ending here. Next chapter February 9th...

Third chapter was brutal for the MC, but I liked how the whole thing went down. What the friend did was a pretty good "fuck you" to shounen logic.

Dauerlutscher · 2013-01-08, 09:41

I liked the oneshot and this seems to be great too.

Looks like it reached the part where they confessed to each other.. I guess Seo wants to keep ending the same

Pesti13nce · 2014-07-14, 12:01

Maybe it won't be tragic.... Maybe... Or maybe they both decide on a lovers suicide?.. I hope at least they study together.

Chapter 009 is released

CHAPTER 008 Shinichi and Yuuki said : I Like You

CHAPTER 009 is all about Love and as usual Last page Seo Kouji going Ecchi

Chapter 009 really romantic and emotional chapter and next chapter will be released on november 008

Shinichi and YUUKI showing the feelings of love is really beautiful to watch .

germanturkey · 2014-10-27, 18:24

so is this like the oneshot but expanded upon? same ending and everything, except its just longer and fleshed out? i loved the oneshot. so much emotion out of 40 pages.

hahaha. nice chapter 8. so we know seo reflects on what people think about kimi..

ARJKG. what an infuriating time to pick this manga up... it seems like there's only a chapter or two left in the story. now i have to wait..

Nuvi · 2014-11-09, 06:04

It does look like that it may follow the same ending as presented by the oneshot. I hope they both actually survives though, I don't want them dead. Surprisingly, this short manga is the only series authored by Seo Keoji which I actually like.

The God in this series is such a sadist, what's the point in killing one of them anyway? =/

You don't like Princess Lucia?

It's not something which I hold in high regard.

If there is one thing that is definitely true about Seo, it is that he is capable of creating characters that people care enough for to rage about the nasty things he does to them[eg. KNIM, H&H, and recently being Fuuka].

germanturkey · 2014-11-14, 23:42

so speaking of which, the new chapter came out in whatever magazine recently right?

germanturkey · 2014-12-01, 17:18

gahhh. its out. i was expecting an emotional sledgehammer this chapter, but got a glancing blow instead. perhaps it'll be next time. i hope there's a happy resolution to this, but i don't see it coming. i can only speculate that

Spoiler for my guess:

a;kslsdjfadls;kfjlafsd. I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE LAST CHAPTER. I WAS EMOTIONALLY PREPARED FOR IT. now i have 2 months to prep myself again..

so shinichiro will bear the burden of living alone. that's horribly sad.

hmm I'm abstaining from this until the complete mark shows up. The thing about Seo Kouji is that he doesn't write the kind of manga that I can enjoy the excitement of waiting for the next chapter without medicating. I love the kinds of characters he makes and stories are pretty good as well but it just seems like he throws in a few chapters that leave me with an enrage status for a few days after reading. So I have to wait for the last chapter to come out so that I can read them all in one or two days and the rage chapters are more like quickly pulling a thorn. It stings a little at first but once it's over with quickly I can read in comfort.

That being said I look forward to reading this manga, I really enjoyed the one shot.
