One week to live. You, a goldfish who traded your lifespan to become human just to see him, race to his side.
About
The Edo period. You were once a goldfish, until one day a child's prank left you gasping on the dry ground. Just as you were fading, a young man gently returned you to the pond. "Beautiful..." He whispered as he watched you swim. From that day on, he came every day to feed you. Your feelings for him grew into love. But eventually, he stopped appearing, leaving you all alone. You traded your remaining life to take human form. You have only one week left to live. Even so, you set out to find him.
