Full Moon wo Sagashite



12 year old Mitsuki Koyama dreams of being a pop star. However a malignant tumor in her throat prevents her from singing loudly or long. One day she accidently meets two Shinigami who inform her she has one year left to live. They agree to help her die without any regrets and so give her a temporary reprieve from her illness and her singing career a magical push start. A bittersweet love story about following your dreams and finding something or someone to live for.

Full Moon wo Sagashite is a 30 chapter manga by Arina Tanemura. A bittersweet romance story, this manga is very good. The main character is very lovable, as well as the shinigami that join her on her journey. The story is very unique, with a few surprises along the way. There are sad moments, especially when discovering the histories of the shinigami companions and how they died. It has a wonderful happy ending, with a surprise twist of its own. There is a fan subbed anime, which I have just began to watch. So far there are quite a few differences and changes within the story, but the music is really good. I will update more on the anime after I complete watching it.
