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.

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.

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.

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.

This was the first Gigguk video I ever watched and now I’m a Trash Taste fan.

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.

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."

They have a sense of realism despite having supernatural elements or absurd pretense. I find it relatable and at the same time amazed at how these short stories can make me feel more satisfied than most multilength light novels that I had been reading.

[@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!

[@databasesushi5641]

I still remember the first time I stumbled on this manga was the time I needed it the most... 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.

[@Voidsmoothie]

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.

[@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

[@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.

I went to buy the LN right after I finished the manga. I read this manga and finished the LN in, no joke, less than 2 days. I couldn't put it down once I read each of them. This is a bonafide masterpiece. It gives you the sense of dread, hope and heartwarming all at once. Thanks you Gigguk for talking about this.

[@rexierun8209]

I can’t afford both, what one do you recommend?

[@strawhatkirbae6717]

Is the LN different from the manga in terms of plot

[@joshgallie1543]

@@rexierun8209 it's been a while since I finished them but a safe bet is go for the LN since manga usually is more limited in term of adaption

[@RonSerruya]

@@strawhatkirbae6717 Its the same, the LN has some more internal monologue, and the manga obviously has the visuals, but its the exact same story

[@rc-fannl7364]

Over 1.000.000 views, amazing! I am so glad to read in the comments about more people wanting to give this manga a try, or having read it, and being impressed. Thanks for making this video, and thus help spread the word how good this story really is.

[@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.

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.

“A human’s worth is not measured by their wealth, amount of friends or happiness in life, but by the *price their Organs sell for on the black market”* -Confucius

[@eizendragon5141]

that's the proper way of measuring the worth of a human

[@unchi5462]

Yep. In reality he should've just sold his kidney

[@panshul6227]

Had us in the first half ngl

[@wor1dconquerer170]

Fun fact Iran is the only country you can legally sell your organs in

[@RanMouri82]

LOL, I can imagine so many anime characters who would say that. 😅

[@metal665lica]

I've just finished reading it. This is one of the most beautiful and touching stories I have ever read. どもうありがとうございます

[@milomoxie2472]

I genuinely needed to hear this. I'm more motivated to make that path towards my dream than I was before I watched this. Now I'll be able to have a psychologically healthy and productive evening. Thank you very much Garnt.
