Do we really have the knowledge what the life is? Or do we know what the life is for a self-centered person? Some of what we know may be only for ourselves.Now-a-days, life has become just like business.Do we really know what success in life really means? If our earnings are much higher, we consider ourselves happy and successful; we are proud if we become famous. In fact, we have tied the happiness of life between fame and typical success.On the contrary,when we fail- we think of ourselves as the most unhappy and worthless person in the world. We become frustrated, we drown in despair and think nothing else is possible in life, life has no value.
What is the story?
It's about selling lifespan and time.Sounds weird? A boy named Kusunoki found himself as the unhappiest and worthless at the age of 20. As an introvert, he was not accustomed to normal communication with people, he did not have any such friends. This poverty and miserable life made him restless.He had neither money nor fame.Life did not turn out the way he wanted it 10 years ago. So, that depression lead him to sell his whole own lifespan but left 3 months for living.The store which one buys lifespan sent an observer named Miyagi to Kusunuki. Then the countdown of his last 3 months started with the observer girl.
The whole story will give you a glimpse of real life with supernatural things. A glimpse of a self centered person and his thoughts. Actually, the life of a person full of despair like Kusunuki can also be happy and beautiful with the touch of love and friendship. It may seem that people come to understand the value of life at the end of life. Actually that's not much true.People like Kusunuki who are lost can understand the value of life only when someone is by their side.
What’s happiness for you?”
“Pay attention to me,” Miyagi pouted. “You haven’t been talking to me much lately, have you?”
We never imagine that there could be infinite happiness in everything we have less or more. Let there be little fame, let there be little money, let us be happy?
V. Majumder ! I am grateful to you because of your recommendation. Thank you so much. A great book telling the secrets of happiness!

It's amusing that this book falls under the 'Light Novel' category, yet its themes are pretty heavy that it's almost hopeless. Kusunoki, a college student without clear ambitions or goals, chances upon a mysterious shop that offers a unique service - the opportunity to trade your remaining lifespan, time, or health for instant cash. The narrative is straightforward, and easy to follow, and it holds my attention the entire time I'm reading it. I appreciate how this book makes me think about the nature of reality, free will, and the choices we make. The protagonist's experiences compel me to reassess what truly matters in life, it challenges the ideas of happiness and fulfillment. Existentialism at its peak, and I couldn't put it down. While I suspect this might be a commonplace theme in Japanese literature, this is my first time reading this kind of premise, so it's very intriguing for me, and it was a bittersweet journey. Anyway, here are a couple of things this book did to me: it brought tears to my eyes in public, and I almost tempted myself to toss it out the door Bradley Cooper style in Silver Linings Playbook.

Im so deeply attached to this book. It explores the growing up, the change from highschool to college experience. It talks about depression and suicide and how empty the mc was, it talked about poverty, the struggle to pay for tuition and apartments, how small and inconsequential he was in such a large world and the author took this narrative and really spun a wholesome tale with a unique premise. It boiled down to the trope of finding happiness by the time you’re dead and yes its a romance :(( fuckkkk and the quotes and intellectual output is so so well done and relatable.
“I used music like this to excuse myself from having to get used to the world.?
Maybe I was still paying the price for it now.”
“I’ll just die quietly. I’ll go back to my usual, self-sufficient, modest life where I don’t count on anyone. Like a cat, I’ll expire silently and in secret.?
So I secretly vowed.”
Also it has the smart kid burn out trope and i just really related to a lot of this ITS DEFINITELY WORTH A READ!

three days of hapiness, or i sold my life for ten thousand yen per year
To someone who has made being unhappy
part of their identity, not being unhappy is losing oneself
I loved this book for one reason, it shines a great light on the importance of acceptance, be it love, death, future, or the tragic meaningless events of life, to deny, or rather to fight it, can only results in suffering, suffering that you don’t even know about, especially death, the final and absolute of all events of life, I loved how the author gave us a glimpse of the value of life through its total opposite: death.
The value of one’s life, in a sense could never be determined by anything, not even his happiness, but an acceptance of the happiness in one’s life, through love could make for a life of great value.

I had mixed feelings about this book that I found it hard to rate it, but I finally settled on 3.5 ??

Three days of happiness light novel review.
Let me introduce myself first, you may call me Isya and I am writing this review because I believe this novel (and maybe the manga), deserves way more than what I have seen around it so far. Personally, I believe that this story is rich, unique, and all the more fulfilling as a novel with quite a deep message to leave behind. Having said that, I also believe that the story is beyond the level offered by Your name, A silent voice, and Weathering with you. Forgive me if I have offended anyone here with my selfish endeavors, I really just think this book deserves a “blow up” in popularity as the films previously mentioned, of course I chose those three films in contrast because the stories of each have several similarities. I also apologize if my flow, or even my review is terrible, this is the first time I have ever written a review so I hope everyone would bear with me. Thank you.
If you are still with me so far, I will be splitting my review into four parts:
1. Introduction (this section)
2. Spoiler free review
3. With spoiler review
4. Closing remarks and a conclusion.
With that said let us begin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Spoiler free~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The story, based on its short synopsis “revolves around a shop where one can sell away the remaining years of their life, and the consequences of doing so. This generally leaves the deep and philosophical perspective to which this book offers leaving any reader such as myself with questions such as:
1. “How much does my life cost?”
2. “What does it take to have a meaningful life?”
3. “How should I spend the remaining time I have left?”
4. “What brings happiness?”
And many more.
With that in mind, the story follows the life of Kusunoki, an ordinary boy living a dull ordinary life. You will be experiencing the story from his perspective as this novel is written quite well in the first-person perspective and personally this has got to be the best way to express the story since the story requires the reader to understand, and maybe relate to Kusunoki, including his naivety, and hopelessness. Unfortunately, most of the parts I disliked regarding the book were because of Kusunoki’s hopelessness, and naivety since these were mostly featured at the earlier chapters of the story and I couldn’t help but feel terrible for him. Despite this, Kusunoki’s flaws feeds toward his development until the pinnacle of the story, and further brought toward the best possible ending this book has to offer. You may like it, you may dislike it, personally I loved it but that’s for any reader to decide I’m only here to provide my insight toward it. The book contains loads of drama, slice of life, and a bit of romance, I am not entirely sure how much more of the book’s content I should mention which would hook a potential reader without spoiling, but I guess it may be good to note that personally I was hooked after reading the first two chapters of the light novel.
With that said, I hope that with my rather short spoiler-free review of the light novel has enticed any potential reader. I also hope that as much as possible if you are really planning to read the book, avoid the spoiler section, and just head straight toward the conclusion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Spoiler~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To start the section with spoilers, I’ll begin by warning the readers of this review that I will not be spoiling the ending of the book, rather I would just be including more information and insights with spoiling information as my spoiler-free review. I am still quite confident that any potential readers would enjoy the fruits to which this novel has to offer and with that let us begin.
Terms to define since they were used often in the book and would be used here as well, or as I would say as “nomenclature.”
1. Observer – an observer in the novel is as invisible guardian who show up to “observe” usually in the last 3 months of a person who sold lifespan. The purpose of an observer is to prevent the one being observed from committing crime since it was described that the closer the person was to dying, the more psychotic, and deranged some of them can become. By being present, an observer is capable of terminating the person’s life sooner to prevent various crime such as murder from occurring. An observer is invisible to anyone and is only visible toward the person being observed. Observers are said to also be human beings; however, these humans sold their time which is the reason they have this job in the first place.
2. Time – the definition I’ll be discussing is the price of selling time, not the definition of time itself. In the book time from your life may be sold, and as described time being sold is equivalent to the amount of time the seller will be working in labor. The monetary value however would still of course vary on how meaningful you would have become; in the amount of time you had sold. As previously mentioned, selling time makes you pay for it by being an observer for the amount of time you sold. Completing the amount of time you sold, as described in the book, will allow you to live the remainder of your life with the amount of money received. (example: remainder of your life is 40 years, you sell 10 years, so you work as an observer for 10 years, after which you may live the rest of your 30 years with the money you received for the 10 years of labor).
3. Health – similar to time, the book rarely went about or even used health as the “selling” option however it was described that some people who lived long, died earlier after selling their health, likewise some people with terminal illnesses lived longer, having purchased life as the book described.
4. Lifespan – lifespan in the book was the simplest to understand. The remainder of your life will be given to you, and a price will be given to the amount of years of your life you are willing to sell. This in a way cuts your life short for a price.
I assume the short synopsis of the spoiler-free section was read, so I will continue with the deep and philosophical message and perspective to which this book revolves around in. To be more precise, I will be discussing how the book manages to somewhat answer or discuss its version of it, at least by my interpretations.
1. “How much does my life cost?”
The price of a human life in real life is of course believed to be one which is immeasurable. However, the book revolves around this philosophical idea, and with supernatural means, places a price toward the lives of beings in the story. The price is simply measured by supernatural means; your entire life from now until the day you die, is measured, then you will be offered a price for selling your life. The book offers three options to sell however: lifespan, health, and time. As the book slowly narrates, a person’s price would vary on how much contribution, fame, relevance, and meaning you have experienced in your life. The main protagonist of the story sold all but 3 months of his remaining life for 300,000 yen at the age of 20.
2. “What does it take to have a meaningful life?”
This is to be discussed because in real life, a meaningful life is as well indescribable, just as how “what is the meaning of life?” is also a question impossible to answer. The book in context, have similar beliefs as of in real life. Having a meaningful life was also something immeasurable, or undescribed so well, however toward the ending of the book the growth of the main character can give a rather philosophical idea to the reader of how “a meaningful life” is to be defined it as well leaves an immeasurable value. In spoiler context, the main protagonist near the end of the book, has again sold the remainder of his life, specifically 30 days, but this time the value of his 30 days was worth 30 years in equivalent. This left me with a rather scale-able idea of how the book measures or even improves the price of a year, and even a day of a human being and adds a price toward it.
3. “How should I spend the remaining time I have left?”
This of course is quite a difficult question to answer as well. In real life various opinions may open up on how this should be done. Of course, this only applies mostly to those with terminal illnesses, since in real life its impossible to measure how much time you have left since anything can happen at any time. People with terminal illnesses however are usually given a time frame, or range by their respective medical caretakers and would have to figure out the answer of how to spend the remaining time. In the book time is priced similar toward lifespan and even health. If you have 30 years left in your life, you may sell years of that life for a value. This goes the same for time, 30 years of your time at the price of 30 years of labor. Health being sold as described in the book: “some people with terminal illnesses live longer, and some people with long lives die earlier.” All of which are presented with a respective price. So how should a person spend the remainder of his/her life?
The protagonist of the story, as previously mentioned, sold all but 3 months of his life. Due to this, he was provided 300,000 yen, and had to live the 3 months with an observer named Miyagi to keep watch of his actions. In the 3 months he lived, he did various tasks which he hoped would somewhat make him happy, or at least improve his last 3 months of life. In a way you can imagine this as a “bucket list” of tasks to accomplish and throughout the first half of the novel, the protagonist simply kept receiving negative outcomes as he accomplished each task up. But eventually he adjusted his tasks toward his own self-development, which was aimed toward his observer, Miyagi, after sharing a sentimental moment with one another. This brings about the second half to which he spent the most of what he had left in the best way he possible could and that was various activities with Miyagi.
4. “What brings happiness?”
This one is probably the easiest question to answer among the previous questions. Happiness in real life is simply an emotion of joy, however, to answer of what brings happiness varies per individual. It is obvious to say that one thing that makes another happy, makes another sad and that is basically what happiness is all about.
In the story, if I were to describe the book emotionally, as I had read it was like a letter “u”. At the earlier chapters, I kept feeling sad, unwell, and miserable, toward Kusunoki and of course to myself. This is because for the first half of the novel, you will be experiencing in first person, every unfortunate event that occurs with the protagonist. To be more precise, it consists of several accounts of tragedy, and even realizing that the life of a person can possibly become so meaningless which can possibly bring upon depressive thoughts and possibly suicide (which are present within this novel). But of course, as I described before these were quite necessary to showcase the second half of the book which were a slowly improving state of the main character from the previous.
As I had previously stated, the unfortunate cost for the remainder of Kusunoki’s life was 300,000 yen. Toward the second half of the book, as he slowly began to act more selfless toward Miyagi, compared to being selfish in the first half, drew upon him a better him. If the entire supernatural phenomena of the book valued his life remainder to be 300,000 yen, to Miyagi, his life’s value cost would be 30 million, or even 3 billion. This further shows how Kusunoki’s character development, eventually lead to the best remaining months of his life leading to a romantic relationship with his observer, Miyagi, which to Kusunoki, was what brought him his happiness.
That brings an end toward the philosophical questions previously mentioned, and how I interpreted each one from the messages of the book.
To discuss the flow of the story, again I repeat the life of Kusunoki, an ordinary boy living a dull ordinary life. You will be experiencing the story from his perspective; this includes his thoughts and desires. I previously mentioned this being a first-person narrative story being the best way to present such, is duly because all of the experiences Kusunoki experienced in the first half of the novel were extremely necessary, despite being quite miserable. This in turn will lead the readers to sympathize, dislike, and even hate on Kusunoki, for various decisions which has or may have committed. The thing I disliked the most about Kusunoki was not how na?ve he was, but more on the hopelessness. I hated how he simple sold a huge portion of his life without a second thought, or even how he attempted to abuse Miyagi for his own selfish desires. I despised Kusunoki for expecting that his lifespan would cost so much more without even attempting to do more out of himself and attempted to commit acts which I believed would turn him into a person worse than scum. But I guess that was the purpose the novel aimed for, to elaborate on Kusunoki’s life decisions, feelings, how hopeless he really is, and how eventually the reader may sympathize with him as a genuine person. Because of how his earlier chapters were, I personally loved his huge improvement, and how the turn of events went as he slowly improved for the better. The thing I probably loved the most is how Kusunoki, and Miyagi interact with one another, to which I simply describe as a romantic tragedy conversed between two unfortunate individuals.
And with that, my spoiler content review is complete.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Conclusion~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The story immediately became one of my favorites and I see it as a story with the same potential as the aforementioned films: Your Name, A Silent Voice, and Weathering with you. I confess however, that I had only read an English translated copy of this book for I do not speak nor read Japanese, and I wish to purchase an English copy of it soon to further support the author in hopes that it would someday help improve sales and popularity. I solemnly hope that this light novel will soon become a film.
P.S.
The book was released together with a short story by the author titled “I Say A Little Prayer” which I highly recommend reading after this book.
Again, I apologize if ever my review was terrible, its my first time writing one but whether you are here at the end with me or not, I’d still leave my thanks and I hope you enjoy the story as much as I did.
Let me introduce myself first, you may call me Isya and I am writing this review because I believe this novel (and maybe the manga), deserves way more than what I have seen around it so far. Personally, I believe that this story is rich, unique, and all the more fulfilling as a novel with quite a deep message to leave behind. Having said that, I also believe that the story is beyond the level offered by Your name, A silent voice, and Weathering with you. Forgive me if I have offended anyone here with my selfish endeavors, I really just think this book deserves a “blow up” in popularity as the films previously mentioned, of course I chose those three films in contrast because the stories of each have several similarities. I also apologize if my flow, or even my review is terrible, this is the first time I have ever written a review so I hope everyone would bear with me. Thank you.
If you are still with me so far, I will be splitting my review into four parts:
1. Introduction (this section)
2. Spoiler free review
3. With spoiler review
4. Closing remarks and a conclusion.
With that said let us begin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Spoiler free~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The story, based on its short synopsis “revolves around a shop where one can sell away the remaining years of their life, and the consequences of doing so. This generally leaves the deep and philosophical perspective to which this book offers leaving any reader such as myself with questions such as:
1. “How much does my life cost?”
2. “What does it take to have a meaningful life?”
3. “How should I spend the remaining time I have left?”
4. “What brings happiness?”
And many more.
With that in mind, the story follows the life of Kusunoki, an ordinary boy living a dull ordinary life. You will be experiencing the story from his perspective as this novel is written quite well in the first-person perspective and personally this has got to be the best way to express the story since the story requires the reader to understand, and maybe relate to Kusunoki, including his naivety, and hopelessness. Unfortunately, most of the parts I disliked regarding the book were because of Kusunoki’s hopelessness, and naivety since these were mostly featured at the earlier chapters of the story and I couldn’t help but feel terrible for him. Despite this, Kusunoki’s flaws feeds toward his development until the pinnacle of the story, and further brought toward the best possible ending this book has to offer. You may like it, you may dislike it, personally I loved it but that’s for any reader to decide I’m only here to provide my insight toward it. The book contains loads of drama, slice of life, and a bit of romance, I am not entirely sure how much more of the book’s content I should mention which would hook a potential reader without spoiling, but I guess it may be good to note that personally I was hooked after reading the first two chapters of the light novel.
With that said, I hope that with my rather short spoiler-free review of the light novel has enticed any potential reader. I also hope that as much as possible if you are really planning to read the book, avoid the spoiler section, and just head straight toward the conclusion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Spoiler~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To start the section with spoilers, I’ll begin by warning the readers of this review that I will not be spoiling the ending of the book, rather I would just be including more information and insights with spoiling information as my spoiler-free review. I am still quite confident that any potential readers would enjoy the fruits to which this novel has to offer and with that let us begin.
Terms to define since they were used often in the book and would be used here as well, or as I would say as “nomenclature.”
1. Observer – an observer in the novel is as invisible guardian who show up to “observe” usually in the last 3 months of a person who sold lifespan. The purpose of an observer is to prevent the one being observed from committing crime since it was described that the closer the person was to dying, the more psychotic, and deranged some of them can become. By being present, an observer is capable of terminating the person’s life sooner to prevent various crime such as murder from occurring. An observer is invisible to anyone and is only visible toward the person being observed. Observers are said to also be human beings; however, these humans sold their time which is the reason they have this job in the first place.
2. Time – the definition I’ll be discussing is the price of selling time, not the definition of time itself. In the book time from your life may be sold, and as described time being sold is equivalent to the amount of time the seller will be working in labor. The monetary value however would still of course vary on how meaningful you would have become; in the amount of time you had sold. As previously mentioned, selling time makes you pay for it by being an observer for the amount of time you sold. Completing the amount of time you sold, as described in the book, will allow you to live the remainder of your life with the amount of money received. (example: remainder of your life is 40 years, you sell 10 years, so you work as an observer for 10 years, after which you may live the rest of your 30 years with the money you received for the 10 years of labor).
3. Health – similar to time, the book rarely went about or even used health as the “selling” option however it was described that some people who lived long, died earlier after selling their health, likewise some people with terminal illnesses lived longer, having purchased life as the book described.
4. Lifespan – lifespan in the book was the simplest to understand. The remainder of your life will be given to you, and a price will be given to the amount of years of your life you are willing to sell. This in a way cuts your life short for a price.
I assume the short synopsis of the spoiler-free section was read, so I will continue with the deep and philosophical message and perspective to which this book revolves around in. To be more precise, I will be discussing how the book manages to somewhat answer or discuss its version of it, at least by my interpretations.
1. “How much does my life cost?”
The price of a human life in real life is of course believed to be one which is immeasurable. However, the book revolves around this philosophical idea, and with supernatural means, places a price toward the lives of beings in the story. The price is simply measured by supernatural means; your entire life from now until the day you die, is measured, then you will be offered a price for selling your life. The book offers three options to sell however: lifespan, health, and time. As the book slowly narrates, a person’s price would vary on how much contribution, fame, relevance, and meaning you have experienced in your life. The main protagonist of the story sold all but 3 months of his remaining life for 300,000 yen at the age of 20.
2. “What does it take to have a meaningful life?”
This is to be discussed because in real life, a meaningful life is as well indescribable, just as how “what is the meaning of life?” is also a question impossible to answer. The book in context, have similar beliefs as of in real life. Having a meaningful life was also something immeasurable, or undescribed so well, however toward the ending of the book the growth of the main character can give a rather philosophical idea to the reader of how “a meaningful life” is to be defined it as well leaves an immeasurable value. In spoiler context, the main protagonist near the end of the book, has again sold the remainder of his life, specifically 30 days, but this time the value of his 30 days was worth 30 years in equivalent. This left me with a rather scale-able idea of how the book measures or even improves the price of a year, and even a day of a human being and adds a price toward it.
3. “How should I spend the remaining time I have left?”
This of course is quite a difficult question to answer as well. In real life various opinions may open up on how this should be done. Of course, this only applies mostly to those with terminal illnesses, since in real life its impossible to measure how much time you have left since anything can happen at any time. People with terminal illnesses however are usually given a time frame, or range by their respective medical caretakers and would have to figure out the answer of how to spend the remaining time. In the book time is priced similar toward lifespan and even health. If you have 30 years left in your life, you may sell years of that life for a value. This goes the same for time, 30 years of your time at the price of 30 years of labor. Health being sold as described in the book: “some people with terminal illnesses live longer, and some people with long lives die earlier.” All of which are presented with a respective price. So how should a person spend the remainder of his/her life?
The protagonist of the story, as previously mentioned, sold all but 3 months of his life. Due to this, he was provided 300,000 yen, and had to live the 3 months with an observer named Miyagi to keep watch of his actions. In the 3 months he lived, he did various tasks which he hoped would somewhat make him happy, or at least improve his last 3 months of life. In a way you can imagine this as a “bucket list” of tasks to accomplish and throughout the first half of the novel, the protagonist simply kept receiving negative outcomes as he accomplished each task up. But eventually he adjusted his tasks toward his own self-development, which was aimed toward his observer, Miyagi, after sharing a sentimental moment with one another. This brings about the second half to which he spent the most of what he had left in the best way he possible could and that was various activities with Miyagi.
4. “What brings happiness?”
This one is probably the easiest question to answer among the previous questions. Happiness in real life is simply an emotion of joy, however, to answer of what brings happiness varies per individual. It is obvious to say that one thing that makes another happy, makes another sad and that is basically what happiness is all about.
In the story, if I were to describe the book emotionally, as I had read it was like a letter “u”. At the earlier chapters, I kept feeling sad, unwell, and miserable, toward Kusunoki and of course to myself. This is because for the first half of the novel, you will be experiencing in first person, every unfortunate event that occurs with the protagonist. To be more precise, it consists of several accounts of tragedy, and even realizing that the life of a person can possibly become so meaningless which can possibly bring upon depressive thoughts and possibly suicide (which are present within this novel). But of course, as I described before these were quite necessary to showcase the second half of the book which were a slowly improving state of the main character from the previous.
As I had previously stated, the unfortunate cost for the remainder of Kusunoki’s life was 300,000 yen. Toward the second half of the book, as he slowly began to act more selfless toward Miyagi, compared to being selfish in the first half, drew upon him a better him. If the entire supernatural phenomena of the book valued his life remainder to be 300,000 yen, to Miyagi, his life’s value cost would be 30 million, or even 3 billion. This further shows how Kusunoki’s character development, eventually lead to the best remaining months of his life leading to a romantic relationship with his observer, Miyagi, which to Kusunoki, was what brought him his happiness.
That brings an end toward the philosophical questions previously mentioned, and how I interpreted each one from the messages of the book.
To discuss the flow of the story, again I repeat the life of Kusunoki, an ordinary boy living a dull ordinary life. You will be experiencing the story from his perspective; this includes his thoughts and desires. I previously mentioned this being a first-person narrative story being the best way to present such, is duly because all of the experiences Kusunoki experienced in the first half of the novel were extremely necessary, despite being quite miserable. This in turn will lead the readers to sympathize, dislike, and even hate on Kusunoki, for various decisions which has or may have committed. The thing I disliked the most about Kusunoki was not how na?ve he was, but more on the hopelessness. I hated how he simple sold a huge portion of his life without a second thought, or even how he attempted to abuse Miyagi for his own selfish desires. I despised Kusunoki for expecting that his lifespan would cost so much more without even attempting to do more out of himself and attempted to commit acts which I believed would turn him into a person worse than scum. But I guess that was the purpose the novel aimed for, to elaborate on Kusunoki’s life decisions, feelings, how hopeless he really is, and how eventually the reader may sympathize with him as a genuine person. Because of how his earlier chapters were, I personally loved his huge improvement, and how the turn of events went as he slowly improved for the better. The thing I probably loved the most is how Kusunoki, and Miyagi interact with one another, to which I simply describe as a romantic tragedy conversed between two unfortunate individuals.
And with that, my spoiler content review is complete.

"Eternity means nothing to me in a world where I don't exist anymore".
A lovely novel from start to finish. Felt the existential dread and cynicism throughout my read and the the final message was nothing short of fascinating. The main two characters, Kusonuki and Miyagi were really impactful and I am sure I will keep thinking about this book.
4.5/5

"To someone who has made being unhappy part of their identity, not being unhappy is losing oneself."
A unique story for sure. The love portrayed in here was beautiful. The author has some interesting philosophies.

I felt this book to be a novel idea—the concept of selling your time, or lifespan. Even though it takes on serious topics, I love how the main character throughout his struggles eventually finds his own happiness. This book really spoke to my soul, as I also have been recently finding what gives me happiness in life. Even though it wasn't explicitly stated, this book shows the importance of living in the present. Appreciating cumulonimbus clouds, or being aware that upon visiting a place, it could be your last time there.
Live your life with purpose; enjoy what the world is currently offering you. I think we can all learn to live in the present just a bit more. Also, to Sugaru Miaki-san, thank you for writing such a meaningful afterword. It made me physically put the book down to stop and think for a moment. Then, I picked it back up and read it again. This may be a book I will have to revisit in the future.

At first, I had trouble keeping focused on the book. But as the story developed, it became easier gradually. So, the story bore a specific message to me :
Most of us keep complaining about the ways of our lives while little things and precious moments lay bare around us to make us feel blessed. We might just need to slow down for a while and look around for those precious little things when we feel we need them most.

How did I not know about this?

It was good enough. I loved the inner nihilistic layer of the story. The view on life and death. Author dealt with very few characters. Climax seemed a bit overdramatic, but it was necessary ig.

You need to read this now --->
How much is a human life simply worth? Is it based on lifespan? Health? Time? To Kusunoki, his 30 years left on earth is 300,000 yen or about $3000. Three Days of Happiness or 3DOH for short, is a slice of life romance light novel by the author of Sugaru Miaki. It takes many deep and thought-provoking themes such as depression, perception, reality, the value of life, and what it truly means to live. Our main character, Kusunoki, was a child full of dreams and ambitions of his own. He was an outcast, but it hadn't bothered him much since he had a childhood friend called Himeno who was in the same category as him. They related to each other, took care of each other, and as such, made a very peculiar promise to each other. Now a young failure of an adult, he overhears about a shop that makes it possible to sell his life. After speculative estimation, he learned his existence to be worth only a mere few thousand dollars. He decides to sell all of it except for three months. This leaves him with $3000 and a 3 month countdown to his impending death. With the Sword of Damocles now upon him, he will then consider his future differently. Will he change his failure of a life that was worth $3000 into something memorable? Will he die living his 3 months just as he would have 30 years? Or maybe, just maybe, will he find happiness in the little time he has left and learn the true value of life?
Honestly, this book is a masterpiece. It has little to no flaws and I could write about the themes of this book for a while if I really wanted to. The only critique or "problem" I have is the title. It's a spoiler, in a way. I won't explain how or why obviously but I always had the title in the back of my mind during my reading of this book. It's a good title, don't get me wrong, but it's so obvious what they are trying to implicate. Whether it's on purpose or not, I didn't enjoy this aspect of the book. On the other hand, the themes in this story were no more short than amazing. The topic of depression was executed very well. Normally you would expect depression to be developed through an external source like your environment or surrounding. This story instead tackles depression in a different spotlight. It depicts the dangers of holding onto the past and synchronizes perception along with depression. It’s not just good because it was well written, it’s good because it’s relatable. One of the main points in this story is “the future”. Everyone wants to believe that they will achieve great things in life. However, this is not always the case. The idea of “What the future holds” is always said without any real meaning or purpose behind it. Whether it be “I’m going to do this when I’m older,” or “I’m going to be this when I’m older,” it’s usually said without any real meaning behind it and is later forgotten. This is apparent in the story and in our everyday life, especially as teenagers in high school. Now perception was one of my favorite themes in this book. It’s what makes this slice of life romance story feel unique and different. There are few perceptions throughout the book, most of which is by Kusunoki. The message I took from perception is this: Your perception of the world is what creates your reality so dismiss others in favor of yours. Spoiler wise, I cannot say anymore, but the way the view of perception is made throughout this book is very well done and I can see the change that Kusunoki undergoes in each chapter, subtle it may be. It was done in a very creative manner and highlights just how big of an impact reality and perception can be. The next theme would be love. From first glance, it seems like love is one of the main messages and themes present in this book. It is very present, but it’s not one of the main messages or themes, at least to me. Love opens the doors for many other kinds of motifs that may or may not be as subtle as love. Love is shown in 2 different ways. It’s shown through self-love and love for others. There are numerous memorable points in the story that incorporate one of these two in it. Sugaru Miaki masterfully used the theme of love as a doorway into other, more mature themes. The cultural setting and atmosphere of Japan makes the characters feel all the more real as we see the effects of it on people of all ages.
I IMMENSELY enjoyed this story and the message it had. I wrote a bit above about the themes, but the crazy thing is that there are many more. I’ve barely touched the tip of the iceberg with how many themes there are. There are themes of changing one's life, the value of life, attachment to the past, existentialism, and materialism. I’m sure if I were to look into the story and re-read it I would find more evidence to support other themes, but those are the ones I can think of that I haven’t talked about.
TL;DR This book was a fascinating and thought provoking read with many themes that, in the end, left me with a feeling of emptiness. It was very enjoyable though so I’d give it a 10/10.

Usually, I don't really like the genre romance, but Three Days of Happiness has a much deeper plot. It tells you the meaning of life and how you should treasure it. The book is also really really sad.

Bagian yang paling kusuka: endingnya! Manis dan pas banget kyk judulnya??
"Three Days of Happiness" ini bercerita dari sudut pandang tokoh utama yang namanya Kusunoki. Kusunoki ni hidupnya lonely dan menyedihkan banget sih menurutku. Dia gapunya temen dan ga ada hal yang berkesan. Satu-satunya temen yang dia anggep spesial adalah Himeno. Mereka punya janji kalo di umur 20 tahun mereka sama-sama masih single, ya mereka akan bareng gituudeh. Kusunoki hidup dengan janji ini. Dia berharap bisa ketemu Himeno lagi dan menyatakan perasaannya. Tapi yaaah yasudahlah ini lain cerita.
Ceritanya dimulai dari Kusunoki yang kehabisan uang dan memutuskan utk menjual CD dan koleksi bukunya. Saat dia menjual barang-barang itu ke 2 toko yang berbeda, ia dapat respon yang sama dari pemilik toko yang kurang lebih kyk "Kamu tau gak ada toko yang bisa membeli sisa hidup kamu?". Kusunoki akhirnya pergi ke tempat yang dimaksud dan setelah dievaluasi... hidupnya bernilai 300.000 yen utk 30 thn. Kusunoki merasa harusnya bisa lebih mahal lagi tapi yaa yaudahlah (sbg pembaca, aku malah merasa harusnya bisa lebih murah lagi karena ni orang suram bener hidupnya WKWKWK MAAF). Akhirnya Kusunoki menjual seluruh hidupnya kecuali 3 bulan. Jadi... Kusunoki punya sisa hidup 3 bulan.
Terus dia ngapain selama 3 bulan itu dengan duit 300.000 yen? Nah itu plot buku ini. Oiya lalu, Kusunoki juga ketemu cewek namanya Miyagi. Miyagi ini bertugas sebagai 'pengawas' Kusunoki. Jadii aturannya tuh mereka yang menjual sisa hidupnya akan diawasi oleh 'pengawas' ini kecuali 3 hari terakhir mereka. Miyagi ga bisa diliat orang lain, cmn Kusunoki doang yg bisa liat. Nahh dengan ini, dimulailah hari-hari Kusunoki bersama Miyagi.
Pesan yang disampaikan buku ini jelas bgt, kurasa pembaca lain juga dapet kok pesannya. Kalo buatku, yang ingin disampaikan buku ini adalah nilai kehidupan itu sebenernya kita sendiri yang menciptakan—seberapa besar sih hidup itu bermakna buat kita? Apa sih yang kita lakuin utk org lain?. Nilai kehidupan juga ditentukan oleh kebahagiaan kita dan bahagia tuh ga harus dengan hal-hal besar atau mewah. Bisa aja dari hal kecil seperti Kusunoki yang seneng ngeliat mesin penjual otomatis hehehe?
Sedikit review dariku: buku ini page turner soalnya aku penasaran sihh gimana akhir dari kehidupan Kusunoki yang suram ini wkwkwk. Vibesnya gloomy dan lonely seperti buku Jepang pd umumnya (agak mengingatkanku sama "Strange Weather in Tokyo" sihh pdhl ceritanya beda). Terjemahannya oke banget! Mengalirrr dan nyaman diikutin karena gak kaku juga. Jujur ini novel terjemahan pertama yang aku baca dari Penerbit Clover dan aku jadi mempertimbangkan buat baca terjemahan lainnya hehe. Overall recommended kok kalo kalian butuh bacaan yang ringan terus ada romance tipis-tipis hihi?
"Three Days of Happiness" ini bercerita dari sudut pandang tokoh utama yang namanya Kusunoki. Kusunoki ni hidupnya lonely dan menyedihkan banget sih menurutku. Dia gapunya temen dan ga ada hal yang berkesan. Satu-satunya temen yang dia anggep spesial adalah Himeno. Mereka punya janji kalo di umur 20 tahun mereka sama-sama masih single, ya mereka akan bareng gituudeh. Kusunoki hidup dengan janji ini. Dia berharap bisa ketemu Himeno lagi dan menyatakan perasaannya. Tapi yaaah yasudahlah ini lain cerita.
Ceritanya dimulai dari Kusunoki yang kehabisan uang dan memutuskan utk menjual CD dan koleksi bukunya. Saat dia menjual barang-barang itu ke 2 toko yang berbeda, ia dapat respon yang sama dari pemilik toko yang kurang lebih kyk "Kamu tau gak ada toko yang bisa membeli sisa hidup kamu?". Kusunoki akhirnya pergi ke tempat yang dimaksud dan setelah dievaluasi... hidupnya bernilai 300.000 yen utk 30 thn. Kusunoki merasa harusnya bisa lebih mahal lagi tapi yaa yaudahlah (sbg pembaca, aku malah merasa harusnya bisa lebih murah lagi karena ni orang suram bener hidupnya WKWKWK MAAF). Akhirnya Kusunoki menjual seluruh hidupnya kecuali 3 bulan. Jadi... Kusunoki punya sisa hidup 3 bulan.

Three Days of Happiness merupakan novel pertama karya Miaki Sugaru yang kubaca. Novel yang memiliki ide yang menarik dan cukup page turner saat aku membacanya.
Aku suka dengan terjemahannya yang mengalir dan membuatku terus membaca dan membaca ... aku suka bagaimana Miaki membangun kisah Kusunoki, bagaimana di masa lalu pernah ada pertanyaan tentang "seandainya hidup bisa dinilai dengan uang, berapa nilainya" hingga di masa kini Kusunoki dihadapkan dengan kenyataan kalau dia berhadapan dengan suatu kondisi dia dapat menjual sisa hidupnya ...
Aku suka jalinan kisahnya, terutama bagian interaksi Kusunoki dan Miyagi ... chemistrynya dapat sekali ? sayangnya, masih banyak hal mengganjal dalam novel ini. Banyak hal yang masih belum jelas bagiku, masih banyak hal yang bisa dieksplor dari kisah Kusunoki dan Miyagi ...
Aku masih penasaran akan konsep menjual sisa hidup, kesehatan maupun waktu disini, mekanisme pengawas ... yang jelas, membaca kisah ini membuatku lebih memaknai kehidupan dan kebahagiaan ...

This may be one of the best fiction books I have ever read, ever. If I could rate this more than 5, I would.
A story about crippling loneliness (which I can relate to a certain degree), love and sacrifice. I have never felt this way in a while, where I am completely immersed in the story where I have to actually stand up and run around because I can't wrap my head around with what's happening in the story. Lines just drop on you like an anvil that makes you go about closing your eyes exclaiming all sorts of stuff like "nooo... no wayyy!".
Sacrifice and love are the main themes of the book. It also plays round the concept near and dear to my heart: "memento mori". By remembering death's certainty, we will live life to the fullest. Miyagi opened wonders for Kusunoki to do just that, and he finally embraces death without fear saying "I am glad to have finally lived, to finally have found love". I ended the book by playing "Nandemonaiya" and boy I am choking up. I don't know what else to tell you, I love this goddamn book and forever grateful to have read it!

What is the value of a life?
-this light novel is anything but. It talks about the idea of selling your time, health or lifespan. If you ask me there will never be any numerical value for these and I’m taking my odds instead.
-after a life of downspiral the narrator decides to sell his and was valued at three hundred thousand yen. This is the beginning of the end. He meets his monitor Miyagi who may or may not change his life and together they take on a new journey to new perspectives and bittersweet ends.
-I was glued to this book from the first chapter and would definitely add it to my favorites shelf. I wanted to highlight so many lines but Im gonna let my friend Shey do that coz im lending this to her next.
-this book came at a serendipitous time when I wanted to read a classic Japanese novel called Life for sale by Yukio Mishima (still wanna read this someday and see his take on it) It made me appreciate the life I’m living no matter how shallow or “loser” other people might percieve that to be.
-this book will make you sad, nakka iyak, nakka lungkot, ready your heart, ready your tissues ? it will make you think and increase your empathy. It’s special in its own way and so for that, I’m giving it my first 5star read for 2024 ??
