Plot

Unable to make ends meet, Kusonoki prepares to sell the last of his possessions. The clerk tells Kusonoki of a place where he can sell his lifespan for actual money. Everything between how impactful someone is to the world and how many people you have affected is taken into consideration for your lifespan. After a complicated path towards this fabled place, he enters the store and meets a mysterious girl named Miyagi. After a couple hours Kusonoki is informed his lifespan is only worth ¥300,000(about $3000), abysmally lower than the universal average. Realizing that his future is worthless, he decides to sell it keeping only 3 months so he may enjoy the money. The next day he awakens to Miyagi knocking on his door. She was sent by the company to watch over Kusonoki for the next 3 months until his time arrives. What follows is an introspective journey pondering themes such as potential, true happiness, and what makes time valuable.
