Description
As a child, after being ab*sed by his mother, Yuuma was almost killed by her. But at the brink of death, he was saved by a shinigami. At that time, he promised to sacrifice his life to protect his ‘fated girl’. “My life is worthless, so I will dedicate it to that girl.” He became an orphan and was taken care of by the Yamaoka Family and lived in Setagaya. He was shunned by his step-siblings, but he managed to live a quiet life nonetheless. He only had one wish, that was to save his fated girl. He found his fated girl, a beautiful and strong, yet scary and lonely girl at the same time, at his middle school entrance ceremony. It was a fateful encounter arranged by the shinigami, an encounter that would change their lives. But there was only one future that was set in stone for them. ‘Either you die, or I sacrifice my life for you.’ This was a gentle love story about a boy who rose up from the dead to protect the girl he hadn’t met yet.

My Thoughts on The Happiness That The Shinigami Gave Me
I dove into "The Happiness That The Shinigami Gave Me" with a mix of anticipation and trepidation, given its genre mix of romance, tragedy, and psychological elements. The title itself hints at a bittersweet journey, and I was definitely curious to see how it would all play out.
First Impressions
Right off the bat, I was drawn in by the premise. The setup, involving a Shinigami and a second chance at life, immediately intrigued me. The early chapters paint a picture of a protagonist grappling with a heavy fate, which is balanced by the budding romance with the female lead. It’s a compelling contrast that kept me hooked.
What Works Well
The emotional core of this story is definitely its strongest point. The author does a fantastic job of portraying the protagonist's internal struggles as he navigates his feelings for the heroine against the backdrop of his destiny. I found myself really invested in their relationship and genuinely rooting for them to find happiness. The female lead is also incredibly sweet and I appreciated how her presence provided a much needed ray of light in the protagonist's dark world. I also found the philosophical undertones to be quite thought-provoking, adding another layer of depth to the narrative.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed the story overall, the pacing felt a bit quick at times. The chapters are quite short, which occasionally left me wanting more in terms of character development for the supporting cast. I felt like there was potential to explore their stories more fully. However, the central relationship is so compelling that I was able to overlook this shortcoming to some extent.
Final Verdict
"The Happiness That The Shinigami Gave Me" is a poignant and engaging story that explores themes of love, fate, and redemption. Despite some minor pacing issues, the strong emotional core and compelling characters make it a worthwhile read.
