I'm in my early 20s, and have been recently realizing just how much self-harm my life's been full of. Realizing how much is or isn't my fault, and that I can still change the parts that weren't my fault too. This really is a perfectly timed video. I'm just at the point where I needed this one extra kick of motivation to shower today, to brush my teeth this week, to try and get a better job, to talk on the phone with my grandparents this year. I'm in my 20s, they aren't eternal and I've gotta at least let them see me heading somewhere. I'm going to read thjs later today. Thank you.

May we say, that this ending is a bad ending? Have you ever felt, that some days of your life are more important, than some other uneventfull years? I think i felt, and if you dont, i wish you to expierence it! Some magic moments with "her" (or "him") may be just important, as the rest of the life. And can we say, that they would be twice as happy, if they lived for 6 days together, not 3? I think no. And i think that in those 3 days they would be more happy than almost everyone in their life. So maybe this ending is a good ending.

This is one of Gigguk's most emotional videos ever, and one of his best too. It hits particularly hard for me as I read I sold my life for 10,000 yen per year and remember closing the final page and staring at ceiling for hours as well, I think I might even have cried a little. ***SPOILERS*** Kunosoki's story is a sad one, in part because he is the one who doesn't find value in his own life. However, things start changing for the good when he starts to care about Miyagi. And that final scene where he shortens his remaining months in order to cash out the rest of the money and lays there at the plaza, with everyone cheering for him due to the way he always talked about Miyagi (even though no one can see her) and even though this time she's not actually there with him is just heartbreaking. Then, Miyagi appears and stays with him, and this time everyone can see her. She's real, all this time she was real, even though everyone thought Kunosoki was crazy. Then, finally the two remain together for the rest of their short lives. Finally happy. Kunosoki found the meaning in his life. Love. Caring for others. It's a sudden spark of light, love and hope in the midst of existential void.

[@m.3.3.w]

There is some other obvious subtle notes as well: Money doesn't bring in happiness. Only love will. (Mind you it is a nice safety net though.) Life is not without meaning, but finding that meaning will make us happier. We do not have to exist to be socially accepted by everyone. And last but not least having a lion's mentality puts fire under your feet; instead of running away from your problems run straight at them.

If I might add onto what everyone else is saying, don't feel guilty if you're not doing everything you can all the time, or if you misstep, or if you don't reach your goals every day. I used to feel guilty about not working out, for example, and that led me to avoiding the activity because I felt guilty. Once I embraced that it was okay to not do it every day, I started feeling better about it and actually increased the amount of days I work out by a factor of 3 or so. Same goes for other parts of my life. Guilt and stress get in the way of doing things, so it's better to simply try earnestly and embrace failure.

Just read it. Its not a nice manga in the sense that you will be filled with sadness at most parts. Honestly, its pretty sad. It has a silver lining though, and I think the message behind the silver lining is probably the best piece of advice you can give to anyone in the world.

Omg I can't believe this would actually be brought to light on YT someday ! I immediately thought about it the moment you mentioned "life" and "monetary value". I read this about 2 years ago and right after finishing I replaced my usual 50 ish wallpaper imgs with just 2 shots from the book's cover on both my pc & phone. I initially read the manga and never in my life have I been struck with something that described my life with so much precision and be so relatable. I then went on to the light novel to get as much more details as I could, I was especially curious about what happened to Hinemo that drove her to go that far.. I'm so glad I clicked and stayed to watch this. Also three days of happiness is such great title in itself. The story made me ofc reflect on what I already knew but probably still encouraged me to push further in my current efforts for the hope of a better life in the future no matter how bitter the current one is and haven't stopped working towards that goal.

[@mr_grimezzz9599]

I needed this man. Life hasn't been going to good since coivd started. But this video helps make me feel better. That unrecognizable sadness disappeared for a bit watching this. So thank you for this. I hope this affected people just like it did me.

[@DawnBriarDev]

Seems like employers keep going under, then the next one is always short staffed (because for all the job shortages they never keep their own end of the contract so nobody wants to work for them even during covid.) My wife is considering leaving her current job for McDonald's, because they blame staff shortages on covid while it's just that they postpone new employee training for ages, won't pay what people would want to work for (and the wages you want don't start until the training they never finish for years that'd take 6 weeks at most), so they stay understaffed working 9AM to midnight 5 days a week, and the health insurance is pointless when she can't ever get time off work to get to a doctor. Employer always has an excuse, never a solution. And McDonald's would pay about the same if we consider her insurance isn't usable if she never gets a day off and can't use it as a result, and being overworked is wearing her health out faster. That and base wages are higher than her college level job due to "not having finish training" that she checked off every item of excluding one over two years ago, when they just stopped training her for the rest, like everyone else they hire. But notice I'm posting a SPECIFIC complaint about covid, not just generally grumbling "covid's been tough." Loved ones get sick from other things, too (I'm gearing up for a 2400 mile trip for my own medical problems that can't be solved locally and are just getting worse with every treatment because the only way for me to have reasonable health insurance was to stick out a grandfathered plan that isn't accepted where I moved 1,200 miles away: I want to see a doctor I have to drive 21 hours one-way, so I have to wait until it's serious, and now it is.) Why do we have this sense of camaraderie about covid in general? Being stuck at home really isn't that bad: Go learn some new skills with that time alone and you'll be completely unaffected by the rest. Prices went up? Yeah that's annoying and for some will be the game breaker. But I don't get this broad brush approach of lumping it all in as "grumbling about covid." Then again I don't mind grumbling about things, but only if I can spend that time also trying to improve them. Like pointing out how if you're specific about HOW you've been affected, you may find actual connections with people who have experienced similar, or may realize while discussing it something you can do to improve it, or find a new opportunity by meeting someone who specifically needs something that coincides with what you're missing out on yourself.

[@zeroleonhardt6779]

Damn it Gigguk, this video just hit me at the perfect time and I really should thank you for it. I'm currently a college student who is about to graduate but is dissatisfied with my course. I have been dealing with depression, existential crisis, fear for the future and overall having the feeling of being an empty and hollow shell. I have had lots of days where I just wasted my life away feeling unfulfilled, finding life meaningless, and having this lingering feeling of being unhappy and wondering if I'll ever be satisfied with how my life is going heading towards the future. I just came back from reading the entire manga after watching this video and honestly, this is one of the most beautiful manga that I have experienced that hit me on all of the right notes. Reading the last 4 chapters while crying my eyes out on this masterpiece has helped me introspect and have good look at the mistakes that I have made and how I chose to spend the past few years of my life. Thank you again Gigguk for this recommendation and for all of the encouragement. Everyone needs to know about this manga more. It honestly deserves a movie adaptation or a short anime series. Cheers man! To everyone who is reading this and is also going through difficulties in life, I hope you all get through them. Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, but even so, it is short and limited. I hope all of you find true happiness and fulfillment as we go along our paths.

As someone who suffers with chronic depression, a sense of worthlessness is normal for me. Friends and family can only contradict such feels so many times before the message no longer reaches.

The sentiments discussed in this manga are exactly the thing I need to hear too often, and I am in tears. I am grateful, though. Thank you, Gigguk, for making this video about this story.

Reminds me of my favorite quote from Oathbringer: "The ancient code of the Knights Radiant says “journey before destination.” Some may call it a simple platitude, but it is far more. A journey will have pain and failure. It is not only the steps forward that we must accept. It is the stumbles. The trials. The knowledge that we will fail. That we will hurt those around us. But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fall, the journey ends. That failure becomes our destination. To love the journey is to accept no such end. I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one."

I personally thought the story would work much better as a novel, as a manga it just really didn't capture my likings. The novel is one out of three literature works that I have given 10/10s, perhaps maybe because I had resonated with it so much and caught my personal feelings in the way.

[@gabrieldelmaestroduarte7461]

Thank you for the recommendation, truly. This is one of those pieces of art that doesn t shy away from the bleakness of the real world, and when a story like that shows hope, it really comes from a genuine place. It's funny cause I relate so much with the story, but not in the usual way most people here do. As a 28 year old, who is just now completing college, I know all too well what s like to waste away your life while alienating yourself from your problems. After all, I spent 5 years in this vicious cycle, until I finally managed to pull myself back up, so this strongly resonates with my past self. In order to get better, I had to go back to my hometown and be close with my family. In the process, I met a girl who's now my ex girlfriend. A girl 4 years younger than me, and who strongly reminded me of my old self and kusonoki. We developed an instant bond, a very deep one, and I tried my best to make sure she and her friends (who were, for the most part, equally lost) didnt have to go through what I did. The problem is, self discovery is really a lone path you need to walk. The more I tried to help her, the more she struggled and distanced herself from me, eventually leading to us going our separate ways. Reminds me of the scene in Bojack Horseman when a character tells a story about a life guard. Unfortunately, there are some people you just cant save, as they'll trash and struggle, and try to sink you with them. I really hope that she, and anyone else going through this can finally get a grasp at their lifes, doesnt matter how long it takes, or how rocky the road ahead. We cant take back the time we lost (and we shouldnt try it, as it'll only build up feelings of guilt), all we can do is be our best selves from this moment forward, and enjoy ourselves while we're here on earth. A great day for everyone!

I had been depressed, worrying about life and my future and these negative thoughts kept piling up to the point it felt suffocating, and to distract myself from the reality I read mangas mostly the wholesome ones which would provide me some comfort in life and one day I stumbled on this manga as I was surfing in the middle of the night in my bed... all too tired of life, and as I read the synopsis and checked the tags I felt it would be a depressing story and that it would only hurt me more... but there were only 16 chapters or so... It was pretty short I thought and decided to give it a go... and thank god I decided to read this... at the end I cried so much and felt relieved... this came in as a message to me "to continue living on", that even if I feel worthless now it wouldn't be the case forever that even I could change and have some value in this life I'm currently living. Thank you for introducing this manga to a larger audience.

To be fair, the manga still has an optimistic idea in the end. However, too many people suffer from living, hoping that one day everything will get better. For the most people, nothing changes for the better. There aren’t any magical girls out there to save these people. Eventually, they will kill themselves out of tiredness, in silence, forgotten by everyone. Or die of old age or disease, living day by day hopeless and without a goal.

I really need to check this one out. I've said that for a lot of your recommendations over the past decade but I'm at that stage in my life right now. Suddenly all the games, shows, and everything doesn't even give the escape and appeal it once did and I'm forced to actually confront long standing issues in my life. It's comforting though to know that this is an age thing. I have been trying to figure out whether it be a societal or age/maturity thing. All I can say is I'll be glad when I'm on to the next stage, as this one feels as though I'm making the most progress but progress at painful step. Like ie finally doing the shit I need to but due the still transitioning out of the old habits I'm left with a deep state of emptiness. Like I just had a friend over and it was wonderful while they were here, but within an hour I already was put back in that turbulent feeling of being lost. Thanks for being a good constant voice that recenters me in a way, reminds me that we are all struggling with the same kind of shit. Edit: Dude. I seriously had goosebumps towards the end of the video because the exact subject I brought up to my buddy while he was over was "where do you see yourself in 5-10 years". His thing was trying to get some food trucks going which is a very good idea, my thing was wanting to see myself with enough published comic material to fill a couple volumes. And because sumo has become such a passion, I also wanna at the very least have made showings at the US tournaments and hopefully get into the Japanese amateur scene, I know I won't make the age cut off in time for pro level.

[@trun_k]

Genuinely hope more people look into this story, it is utterly beautiful and has quite a melancholic and self-reflective effect for a little while. If there is a manga that deserves a movie adaptation by CoMix Wave and Makoto Shinkai, then this is it.

[@ianlulu]

Just finished reading it and i agree this deserves a movie, your name style

[@thefoxer9286]

Fun fact that this was my first manga and i absolutely loved it, respect for the author and hope you’ll all love it

As a (Chemistry) teacher in the Netherlands, reflecting is one of the first things we learned in teacherschool. This is supposedly to make you more awear about your mistakes so that you can learn from them. Yet, i feel like this brings a level of self awareness that could easily make or break your self esteem. A tiny bit of ignorance towards life itself is not such a bad thing for once metal wellbeing and might increase your happiness a little.

[@mono8476]

I hv to agree with this. Spending time thinking about the bad stuff makes me anxious. I rather avoid it

[@venepskeuten9206]

Can confirm your theory works. Source: my own mind and self-esteem.

[@venepskeuten9206]

So in a way a little ignorance can do some good. Still this is hard to accept as to be purposely ignorant of some things feels wrong for some reason. And so a state of constant reflection of such things can tire you out.

As someone who's lost in his 20s, thank you for this video, it gives me hope that it is not too late to make better decisions, make less f*ck ups and appreciate even simple things more.

[@Luis-kv8zc]

FINALLY, HES TALKING ABOUT IT !! This has to be one of the best experiences I've had reading a manga and one of the best made in general (Ik the story comes from a novel)

[@nickel4acent]

Your closing remark for this video is definitely something I needed to hear today, and I'm going to read this series as soon as possible. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@InFerNoTibia]

im going tru a lot of shit this last 2 years its been hard , painfull and almost unfair and to see this video talking about a real life struggle like the one im facing (currently i have no where to go and i might get evicted if i dont have a new place to stay...while i have no job) it really gives me a little spark full of emotion feeling like i can climb back somehow...dunno how but while tearing up and writing this comment which prob no one will see...i thank you for your work...thank you

[@jeff6440]

As someone in his mid twenty’s still trying o figure a lot of things out... idk it gave me a different perspective and hopefully can carry out the message I learned from it as far as I can

[@Gornius]

You can do it man. One year ago my life literally didn't have a meaning and today I finally feel pleasure from learning on my studies, working and meeting with friends. Met someone I can first in my life call a real friend. I don't feel lonely any more. If I told myself from year ago how my life will look like a year later, I wouldn't believe myself.

[@jeff6440]

@@Gornius Thank you, I found being around friends has been nice as well. Also, hoping to start a new career soon so hoping for the best! I'm happy for you as well not feeling that loneliness as well as doing good in other places in your life

[@GodMeyer]

I was watching the beginning like, “Hey, didn’t they make an entire ln/manga about this”. And then you went on to talk about this hidden gem that I read a while back that everyone needs to

[@adolfoguerrero5072]

Exactly my thoughts i was so ecstatic that he was talking about one of my favorite light novel/manga

[@joyc.e.7511]

I went through the exact same realization! I'm glad he reminded me of it. It's gonna be much more impactful at 21 than at 16. Heck, just this video about it had me tearing up a little.

[@youraveragegrandma568]

I guess it’s not that hidden of a gem if so many of us know about it

[@troved590]

I watched the video half way and decided to read the manga since it was only 16 chapters. All I want to say is thank you for shedding light to this amazing piece of art

[@qgduck8767]

Watching this before going into work at a job that feels like a dead end hit really hard. Made me think of what I'm doing with my life and what I actually value out of it. Thank you for making something like this. Hopefully others get something out of it as well.

[@ImWiz_]

The timing on this video is impeccable. I lost the only person i had in my life due to my stupid and selfish actions and now i want to step towards tomorrow, become better and make my self worth more. Thank you, Gigguk.

[@dripkidd8572]

Best wishes your way

[@hannahschmitt8442]

Gigguk effortlessly making me ponder my own existence and encourage me to move forward though life with a beautifully written video. Thanks for making me cry! I’m definitely checking out the manga.

[@Days-ru8jh]

I just read it myself and now life it hitting different. Can’t ever live the same after this read now. Damn.

[@Takudayo]

The Ending To Three Days Of Happines Is Really Good Atchually, We Are Left With A Bitter Sweet Feeling Telling Us Its Not About How Long You Live, Its About How Happy You Were Till Your Last Moments

Yea I never thought the ending was sad
