A Year to Live, and I'm Sharing a Home Across Time and Space with Nanami

Xiao Lin You is an ordinary rock musician living in an ordinary world. She can see everyone's life countdown, and has only one year left to live.

One night, she opens the bathroom door

and instead of hot steam, she finds a half-naked blond man with a cold expression.

Kento Nanami, an overworked sorcerer, has just finished showering after work. When he opens the door, he finds himself in a strange woman's home.

Even stranger, their bathrooms have become a dimensional rift, and their worlds are physically merging. His sofa sits beside her record player, and her sunglasses hang beside his suit.

They're forced to live together, and their wildly different styles make for one chaotic mess after another.

Kento Nanami would never like a reckless, capricious woman like her. He'd always imagined having an ordinary sort of lover.

Or perhaps he had never thought about romance at all. Love was too much trouble, and it was certainly not something a sorcerer who risked his life should have.

But she was like a whale living in a forest, impossible to ignore.

Kento Nanami still hated it when his plans changed again and again, and he hated losing control of himself. But some things couldn't be held back by willpower alone.

It's easy to get lost in a forest.

He couldn't help but fall deeper.

Seeking a way to stay alive, Xiao Lin You throws herself headfirst into the world of sorcery.

But even as her abilities improve, her life cannot be saved.

In the face of death, even a fluttering heart is a luxury.

(The heroine really does die, but comes back to life. Later on, Nanami becomes a deranged, possessive widower.)
