Storyline

Twelve-year-old Mitsuki loves to sing and she dreams of becoming a famous singer to fulfill a promise she made to Eichi, a close friend who moved away to American two years previously. Unfortunatly, she suffers from a tumor in her throat which makes singing difficult for her. One day Takuto and Meroko, two shinigami (gods of death), suddenly appear and inform her that she will die in one year. With this in mind, Mitsuki becomes more determined than ever to realize her dreams of becoming a famous singer and to reunite with Eichi. Asking for help, Takuto transforms her into a 16 year old to aid Mitsuki in following her dreams in the one year she has left to live.

User Reviews

all in all a good anime

This was very well thought out and all in all a rather good anime. its filled wit rather funny times that make my tummy hurt from laughing and then it switches to the dramatic times which are also done nicely. Takuto also rules, hes a really good character and i love him! If you like the anime, i would suggest reading the manga. its actually better because they don't cut so many things out and they don't change everything, and its just funnier, but the anime is good too! This is one of the very few animes i have really gotten excited about, don't get me wrong, i love anime, but this one is so good i finish the books the first time i get them with no delay and watch the episodes as soon as possible!
