HOW MUCH IS LIFE TRULY WORTH?
Kusunoki used to believe he was destined for great things. Ostracized as a child, he held on to a belief that a good life was waiting for him in the years ahead.

After learning he can sell his remaining years-and just how little they're worth-he chooses to divest himself of all but his last three months. Has Kusunoki truly destroyed his last chance to find happiness...or has he somehow found it?

Nidome no Natsu, Nidoto Aenai Kimi

Genres: Drama , Romance

This summer, I lost you a second time.

Surely, the words 'I like you' were a crime.

Moriyama Rin was born with an incurable disease.
I came to love the girl who spent her high school life hiding that fact.
At our last cultural festival, we had our live concert and spent the last moments of the festival together--After that, Rin died.

In her final moments, I told to her 'I like you' --I told her the message that I should have never conveyed. When I arrived at the her hospital room, I received a slip of paper with only the words 'I'm sorry'.

I shouldn't have told those feelings.
Someone like me shouldn't have gotten close to Rin.

Then, I experienced a time leap.
At the riverside where we first met, I met her once more,
the Rin who I always wanted to see again, to see that radiant simile once more...

That's why this time I won't make the same mistake.
Because I definitely cannot convey these feelings.

I decided that to the very end, I must repress my own feelings.
In hopes she would always be smiling in her one short life.

Aoharu Point

Status: Finished
Genres: Romance , Slice of Life

People have “points”. Everyone’s lives are ruled by values or points based on various factors – looks, studying ability, and communication ability. Figures were floating above people’s heads. For some reason, I kept seeing said/such points. For example, the figure hovering over the head of my classmate, Yui Kasuga, is 46. Considerably low points. She doesn’t know how to read the mood and doesn’t even have friends. In order to raise Kasuga’s points, I end up getting involved with her–… Kasuga’s rising points, and I who was supposed to have given up all hope on changing. This is the story of our “branching point” in life.
