Recommendation Masterlist: Fantasy & Supernatural Themed Jdramas A second year high school student, Morino Hotaru has spent the last few years crushing on her classmate, Otaka Ren. Unable to find the courage to confess her feelings, Hotaru has become something of an expert in unrequited love. One day, while on a school trip with Ren and her best friend, Yamamoto Shiori, their bus gets into an accident. Blacking out for a bit, Hotaru wakes up to find a young man, dressed fully in black, standing over her. Shocked by his sudden appearance, Hotaru shoves him away but he refuses to leave. Introducing himself as Kuro, he announces that he’s a grim reaper and that Hotaru is dead. As if the news of her death wasn’t shocking enough, Kuro goes on to explain that she has 49 days in which to resolve the three lingering attachments she has to her past life. If she fails to resolve these lingering regrets within the given time, she’ll become a ghost, bound to this world, unable to rest in peace for all eternity. There’s just one problem, Hotaru has been asleep for a month and now has only nineteen days in which to resolve her regrets. Difficult as it seems, Hotaru sets out to free herself from the last, lingering attachments to her mortal life. With time running out, she must hurry, but saying goodbye is hard and saying “I love you” feels nearly impossible!

Reviews
First, the story isn't so simple as it seems! There is a plot twist that's gonna AMAZE you, truast me!
Second: The acting it's actually really good ! Many JDramas tend to lack with really bad acting, sometimes rushed or just overexaggerated, things that for me make hard to follow a drama, this one is really an exception! The acting is actually pretty good, nothing confusing, there aren't exaggereted scenes (there are a lot of easily crying scenes! haha)
The stroy brought me to tears more that one times, it's super touching and also real, i mean, everyone could be involved into a car accident, but many more always had the tought of ''but, after our death, what hapens!?'', and this one it's that kind of drama!
Thrid: The lenght was perfect, it basically more a movie than a drama, since it's around just 2 hours of show, if they made a whole 10 episode or more show, i could say that this one was gonna be a masterpiece!
In the end, this one made this way into my favorite drama lists, aboslutely whort the time!!

I already feels there's something fishy start from the time Kuro gave Hotaru the rules, but I don't know what. Then my suspicions increased when I saw the last scene in the first episode, but I still don't know what the goal of this series except to help Hotaru settled her lingering regrets. As the episodes goes by, comes out more clue here and there, and I feel more like I watch a detective series than a romance, because I try to gathered the clues and makes a conclusion (^_^)Finally I get the clear image of what's going on when Hotaru settle her lingering regrets with Ren. Truthfully, I never imagine that kind of twisted plot, but that's very interesting and touching! And the ending is somewhat between sweet, happy, bittersweet and heartwarming ending.
This series, even though just contains of 6 episodes with an average duration of 20 minutes for each episode, really can tell a story without leaving unspoken details. The story goes with the good speed, not rushing and not slow too, so that you'll feel comfortable watching it.
I watch this because I want to see another cast by Koseki Yuta and I'm not disappointed with his acting in this series ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡ But, not only him, in my opinion, the other casts' acting are superb too, they really know what they should do and have a good chemistry between each other.
The musics, whether it's an insert song or the soundtrack are great. They are really suitable to accompany this film.
