| Kouyama Mitsuki |
Oh,seriously. This anime was so touching to me. I cried a lot of times when I watched this anime. Somehow, this anime made me felt as though I'm a character in the story, that kind of things. Or was it just because I'm sensitive and emotional?

| Kira Takuto |

| Sakurai Eichi |
Well, in the story, a twelve-year-old girl, Kouyama Mitsuki (or is it supposed to be Mitsuki Kouyama?), was contracted with throat cancer. Mitsuki loved singing very very much and she had wanted to enter a singing audition in order to get the chance to achieve her dream of becoming a singer. Another reason was that she had known a boy older than her by four years, Sakurai Eichi in the orphanage and both of them had made a promise to achieve their respective dreams of Eichi becoming an astronaut and Mitsuki a singer when they are able to meet each other again, when Eichi left for America with his newly-adopted parents.

Then suddenly one day, two Shinigamis who called themselves Negi Ramen (group name given by their boss xD), Kira Takuto and Yui Meroko appeared before her very eyes out of a calendar given by Eichi. Mitsuki was then told that she had only a year more to live and they were assigned to make sure that she died when time comes. Mitsuki soon befriended them and told them her desire to become a singer so that she could meet Eichi again. using Takuto's power, Mitsuki was transformed into a sixteen-year-old in order to join the audition. Both Shinigamis thought she would not pass the audition but to their surprise, Mitsuki sang her heart out with her beautiful voice and landed a contract with the singing company holding the audition. From there onwards, her singing career began.

However, Mitsuki kept it secret from her grandmother, Fuzuki and her family doctor who acted like a father to her, Wakaoji Keiichi, who was actually an ex-member of Mitsuki's father's band group, Route L. Mitsuki, whose stage name was Full Moon, was introduced to her manager, Ooshige Masami and she managed to debut with her own song, Myself. The song is nice to listen, it expresses the feelings very well. Or was it another of my emotional outlooks? *shakes head*

So everything went well till one day, Wakaoji and Ooshige found out about Mitsuki's secret but in the end they both supported her. Mitsuki managed to go to America in search of Eichi but when she came to know of Eichi's death, she lost her aim to live and sing and even gave up her singing. Takuto who slowly regained back his memories when he was human, gave her advices and encouragement and told her of his regrets of giving up his life just like that. Mitsuki then listened to Takuto and continued back her singing career. She held her live concert and sang all her feelings and hope out to the audience. During her concert, however, Takuto and Meroko disappear into another realm. In the end, though Takuto had defied the rules as a Shinigami and actually had to be a ghost due to his act of recalling his human memories, he was granted another chance to start anew as Kira Takuto, once a sixteen-year-old singer in Route L together with Wakaoji and Kouyama Aoi, Mitsuki's father, whilst Meroko had turned into an angel as she possessed kindness as a Shinigami.

Um, there were also other side characters that I did not mention, like Rio Izumi, a Shinigami who loves Meroko, Jonathan, Izumi's partner in retrieving human souls, Tanaka, the maid in Mitsuki's household, Wakamatsu Madoka, Full Moon's rival, Mitsuki's group of friends. In the show, my favourite characters are none other than Mitsuki, Takuto and Wakaoji. And of course, when it comes to character pairings...nyehehehe~ Mitsuki is definitely the perfect partner for Takuto, and Wakaoji with Ooshige. However, it would be better if in the anime, the pairings of these two couples were clearly shown at the ending. Sigh~ Gosh, I've never cried so much for a show before in my life, as compared to other sad movies or dramas. I cried mostly because the songs, Myself and especially Eternal Snow, left deep marks in my heart, as though I'm the one who had gone through what the main character went through.
Nevertheless, the anime was a truly nice one. Well done! *claps hands with smiling eyes*
P.S. I know the details about the anime are not complete. If you are interested to know more about it, there are several options:
