Everyone dies. Few people have a sense of when or how that will come about, but for two individuals living - or rather, biding time - in the hospice at the top floor of the hospital, that inevitable event feels much more immediate. The lore of that place states that there are only two places where they can choose to die. In the hospital, or at home. Follow the journey of those two as they try to find an alternative to those stultifying options.

Bittersweet atmosphere and excellent handling of sensitive subjects. Short and to-the-point - easy enough to finish in two or three sittings.

When you boil it down, Narcissu is a tale of hospice care patients coming in terms with their mortality. There aren’t any great conflicts nor romances to be found. If anything, the characters are doing their best to disappear completely from the lives of others. Either way, as the clock keeps ticking you slowly start to realize that maybe it isn’t bad after all to be selfish and leave something behind. Should also be noted that the first two titles (And the epilogue) are very closely connected to each other, the remaining titles aren't essential and drift into other directions.
