I can’t take my eyes off the development, which is far beyond my imagination. In the end, my heart was broken along with the main character, Komatsu. lol TSUTAYA Sunliv Munakata store Tomoka Watanabe
I was attracted to the special setting of “time reset by the Grim Reaper.” However, it’s not the Grim Reaper that’s scary, it’s the humans after all. I would like you to see how they will act within the limited time, and whether there will really be anyone left.
