Half and Half

This next oneshot is called "Half and Half" (you've probably already guessed that from the title of this post and by the cover illustration) by Seo Kouji.

The story is: Shinichi Nagakawa and Yuuki Sanada are both involved in an accident and die together. But they're given a chance to live again. God lets them live for 7 more days. But the catch is that after the time limit, one of them must die again.
There's more. God decrees that their lives will be shared, including emotions (guilt) and physical sensations (pain). They are told not to leave the other's side, else both of them die. What will happen during those 7 days?

The artwork for this story was perfect, in my opinion. Both character's displayed a lot of emotion, which was appropriete for this storyline - and unlike some other mangas where you wouldn't really be able to tell what they're feeling unless you see what they're saying, I think you'd be able to follow right along the story even if there weren't any words. Well, except for the part where they're told they're going to share everything for the next 7 days. That part would probably need words.

As for the story - I loved it. As you may know by now, I love happy endings. I had conflicting feelings about the ending (SPOILER: its was sad...), but I still loved it. The story was a good mix between happy and sad.

Overall, I would rate this oneshot an A+. If you're in the mood for a bittersweet romance manga, you need head over to

read this right now. But if you're in a super fantastic mood (and feel like reading romance), I suggest you read something happy, like

or
Tonari no Inuyama-kun (http://oneshotmangas.blogspot.com/2010/06/tonari-no-inuyama-kun.html).

Thanks for reading! If you know of any good oneshots, please let me know! (Please not Yaoi or Yuuri though.)
