Summary - English (DeepL)
I don’t care if I die. That’s what I thought before I met you.
I am the Grim Reaper. I’ve come to tell you that I will die in seven days.
I met her at an intersection on my way home from cram school, and she was a Shinigami who came to tell me that I was going to die.
There was no point in trying. After the death of my respected brother, I had not found anything worth living for. What does it matter if I was told that I had only seven days left to live?
Perhaps out of pity for me, she suggested that we spend an exquisite seven days together.
This is a sad but beautiful story of the seven days spent by me, who is not attached to life, and the god of death, who wishes me to live.
