When a succubus ends up being seduced by their victim…


“If You Were to Die Tomorrow, What Would You Wanna Do?” or Ashita Shinu nara Nani Shitai? (日死ぬなら何したい?) in Japanese, is a short manga (Doujinshi) by Ajichi.

Plot

Sou, a god of death, decides to look through “the black book”, which is said to have the most dangerous souls recorded – past and present. By choosing a name at random, Sou makes it herself the mission to visit that person on earth and offer a mischievous deal, for the evil death god she is. However, Sou’s gonna find out first-hand why that innocent-seeming girl, who’s gonna die from an illness in a month, was written into the book.

Ashiya: "Ah! I have to close the window..."
Sou flies in in that right moment. Sou: "Good evening, pathetic little lamb", she says while grinning. 
Ashiya is surprised and amazed at the same time.

My opinion

Sou was a bit annoying, as well as the background male characters, but I did like Ashiya Makoto (the “victim”).

Overall it was funny for the length and the ending is nice.

Art style is cute.

Recommended if you’re looking for a “sweet” yuri one-shot with a bit of ecchi and comedy.
