The only One-Shot that has made me cry...
No matter how many times I kept rereading it, I still cried every time.
From the man who created Nisekoi, brings us a heart-wrenching tragedy that will surely make you shed a tear once you have completed it
With only 52 pages Komi, Naoshi managed to come up with a story that makes you truly care about the two characters and what they are going through, and what happens to them in the end.
If you have 5 free minutes out of your day, then you should read Tokidoki. You won't regret it :)

One thing; This will hit you right in the feels.
I normally dont really get feels, and i am often seen as emotionless, but his one touched me. Its a one-shot. Its not long, and because of that I did not expect much in the beginning, but oh boy i was wrong But even though its not that long, you will get hit right in the feels in the end. Its a small ride though a lot of emotions, Everything form Happiness, Sadness to fear and love. I was left without words, when i finished it. ... Nov 2, 2016
JUST READ THIS ONESHOT!!!!! ITS FRIGGIN BEAUTIFUL!!!!! (except if you plan to wait for more than a oneshot to enjoy this more, but this oneshot itself is magnificent)
Komi Naoshi is most famous for his work Nisekoi which I enjoyed myself since it was very light and just sparked the young romantic-comedy side in me, but Nisekoi was lacking deep emotions and the capacity to make the reader see relationships in a more sophisticated way since it is a harem which mostly focused on making the reader giggle and the characters funny. This work of his on the other hand still is very enjoyable though ... Apr 15, 2020
Tokidoki is a very sweet one-shot were we follow two students Hato Iijima and Hatsu Takagi. Hatsu Takagi has a rare disease called Kokuhaku disease. It is where one is born with all of their heart beats and they usually pass early in their life. Takagi has a special device to measure her heartbeats.
When Hato finds out about Hatsu's disease Hato swears to help her enjoy life to the fullest and make her heart beat like crazy. This is a short and sweet one-shot. With only 52 pages it is a real tear-jerker. The art is beautifully drawn and is somewhat detailed: 9/10 The main characters are dynamic ... Jun 26, 2023
I came to give this review because as a grown-up person, I cried reading this one-shot for the second time again.
Just as "Watashitachi no shiawase na jikan" is the perfect epitome of 'Forgiveness' theme. Tokidoki is the perfect display of what "Charity" is. One can debate what he did was for his own sake. However, he did really mentioned to her he wanted to cheer her on with all his heart. I can't find another best anime rivaling to this: a person who knows so little about the other (a stranger) to be able to give this much. Tokidoki is again the best portrayal of ... Nov 3, 2016
I was surprised, never really thought that would happen.
For a one-shot manga, it's a one whole package of a story. I didn't expected anything because I thought it was going to be a love story, similar to Nisekoi's one-shot. In the end, it was satisfying yet unacceptable. Story: Simple but great execution (and I can't move on about it.) Art: For a one-shot, it really has a beautiful illustration. Character: I must say unforgettable (cause its sure hit through the feels.) Enjoyment: It's appreciative that I really want to see this as a manga series. Overall: I do recommend this and your not gonna get disappointed. Dec 25, 2024
*****Thematic Spoilers*****I wouldn’t even say that this was a romance, even though it was explicitly one. The reason I say this is because it’s a manga about getting past your fears. “One who is satisfied can never be deceived.”(not said in the manga, just a quote I keep to myself) Takagi, who learned to continue her passion regardless of death, realized that the idea of death is that it exists to kill our dreams, making us unaware of what we can achieve in a lifetime. We, as people, are highly limited and are forced to conform to societal standards, which is why we always worry

It's hard to write reviews for oneshots like this one.
It hard because the stories are short, and giving away too much is too easy. So to make this short and to avoid accidentally handing out the enjoyment of exploring and discovering every twist and turn of Komi Naoshi's latest brilliant one-shot... Let me just say this. Komi Naoshi is a sadistic man. He's a genius. And he will make you cry over and over again with his creative one-shots. Toki Doki is no exception. This one hurts. This one hurts a lot, and you'll love the pain, 'cause it's so bitter-sweet and beautiful. Nov 5, 2022
Looking from a oneshot perspective, this is worth your 5 minutes.
I would recommend it to all of you who loves romcom and sometimes want an emotional story. You would get introduced to 2 main characters which love and care for eachother. Furthermore, you would even see normal things from a different perspective - Seeing it for the first time, trying out things for the first time. And this could be your first time seeing a story like this. I enjoyed every second reading this oneshot and even re-read it and really think how I've spent my time. If I were them what would I do? ... Jan 29, 2017
This is a One-shot worth reading. It has everything a One-shot should..the art is great...the story is a masterpiece..(Pro tip: watch out for the twist at the end)..If you are a fan of the School Drama,you should try it out...
The Romance in it too is sweet and subtle...... I loved it because it matches with my idea of a romance story...sweet,subtle and believable... Besides the plot twist at the end appealed to me as well... I hated it ....well...because it ended.....I could have managed ten more chapters. At the end of the story,you will probably be wishing for more..as is the case with many One-shots... One-shot lovers would definitely be ... Oct 29, 2019
"I hope the author of this one-shot will turn it into an manga!!"
For me, the story of Tokidoki is different from the usual drama, romance, school genre that we always read or watched because as the story finishes at the end, you called it unexpected twist. I liked the artwork on this one-shot. Expected from the author of Nisekoi, it also have some same artwork just like in Nisekoi, so maybe you will see some look-a-likes. Overall, this kind of story is enjoyable to read so that is why I recommended this one-shot for you to read and also grabs some tissue along the way. I ... Dec 19, 2016
Just when I thought I have prepared my heart for some tearjerker scenes because someone's gonna die - based on the first pages of the manga, I thought wrong. 💔 I haven't prepared enough. You will still cry anyway!😣😢😭
What I love about this oneshot is how it teaches every reader to "Live life to the fullest!" To live without regrets. That every second is worth living for! Questions like, "Am I happy with how I live my life right now?" will cross your mind as you finish reading the manga. You will have some sort of realization about your life - that's what happened ...

Note: First time to write a review so pretty nervous :(
(any suggestion or comments to improve my review is gladly accepted) TokiDoki one-shot is one of the best manga I've ever read . First of all I'm not unto manga this day and not read a lot much of it but TokiDoki is like drawing my attention. But then when i read it omg... What a great art style and the story is pretty good too. My heart skipped a bit at the part of the plot twist it kind of left me speechless. Main Characters fits the story perfectly although we didn't have the chance to know ... Oct 5, 2022
I wasn't actually planning on writing a review,
But this is one of the finest one-shots I've ever read. Additionally, it was a fantastic quick read. The plot is straightforward and was written by the same person who wrote "Nisekoi," yet it hurts harder than I anticipated. Story was beautiful and fascinating. And the artwork was lovely. ... May 17, 2020
This is my first review. I'm not one to write reviews, so I never really planned to. But this manga really hit me in the feels.
This review will be pretty short because of the manga's nature. There will also be no spoilers. Have you ever felt a slight, yet sad relation to the characters while reading a manga? This time, I sure as hell did. I typically don't cry over these things, but I do get very emotional. However, this somehow managed to pull the emotions out of me, while at the same time being this short. The manga is extremely short, consisting of between 40-60 ... Jan 29, 2021
Hey, If you're looking to have some medicine in your broken hearted hearts. Lucky you cause I have the perfect- wait no PERFECT one shot for you. I'm saying... don't. This manga is such a masterpiece it just breaks you after seeing the first page of the first chapter.
This is basically your lie in eating my pancreas into the forest of the fireflies' light kinda thing in a one shot. Short yet good. Also, this is the creator of nisekoi as you could see by the hairclips of the main character and Nisekoi is another masterpiece which is basically domestic na go-toubon no we never ... Jul 22, 2025
You weren’t supposed to make me cry, konoyarou, chikushou!
I liked this one-shot. Yes, many readers might find it a little cheesy, formulaic, or even predictable… but honestly, I don’t care. This one clicked with me. I loved the excellent use of space, which dictated the overall pacing and made the reading experience very enjoyable. This is a crucial aspect of manga. I’ve been reading mostly one-shots since yesterday, and I have to say, this one made the most effective use of page space. The panel design was efficient and purposeful. As for the characters, since it’s a one-shot, there isn’t much room for deep development. But even so, ... Dec 9, 2024
Tear-jerker one-shot...
Do you know the feeling that you get when finishing a series that leaves you with a hole in the chest?... Well this one-shot is one of them! Right from the start is a roller coaster of emotions. It´s a bitter sweet story that shows how fate can be so cruel even when you think you know what´s coming. The main characters are very likeable and quircky, the pacing is well done to show the growth between characters. The art and setting compliment the tone of the story so well and by the end you will want to re-read it. When finished reading it, it gave me "I ... Aug 14, 2025
Makes you rethink about the value of time especially to those who are most limited by it. But you can make it worth it if you make it as these two did. Human beings live up until 60 years or roughly 25 thousand days and this two have 1/3 of that and someone lesser than the other.
Time is such a good element of any story. But on how short this one is what makes it so special. To impact somebody in a short amount of time, the time you have left and the time you wish to spend with somebody cut short. I recommend Three Days ... Dec 22, 2017
Writing this review after I just finished this story. And I'm now thinking why even thought I knew very well it would be something that hits me hard I still went and read this, I must be some kind of masochist and anyone reading this probably is at some extend. just from the summary, from the first panel of the manga you know already what you are getting into but it's only natural I guess to be curious and to test yourself.
I've been reading a lot of drama and romance manga but those manga normally act as some kind of roller coaster where you just ... |
