Tokidoki is the latest One Shot by Naoshi Komi,despite the small length it has been better in many aspects than his previous work but this isn't the first time that someone came with a Melodramatic plot which portrays strong emotion and tragic in the expense of logic and character development, tbh, it relies heavily on getting the reader emotional to create a fake sense of attachment to the uninteresting and bland characters, the closest thing I can relate it with is Hollywood flick "The Fault in Our Stars"
In short,it follows a girl with fatal heart disease and got few countable years to live, until

As I noted in a past review, author Naoshi Komi wrote my single favorite one-shot, "Island", when he was just 20 years old in 2006. However, his one-shot "E no Genten", written in 2018 when he was 31, was largely bland and uninspired. While Tokidoki is better than the latter, it's very far from the quality of his early work.
Tokidoki has a simple premise. High schooler Iijima discovers that his new classmate Takagi has only a few years to live and seeks to make her remaining time as joyous and exciting as possible. They go to the beach, attend a carnival together, eat ... Nov 24, 2016
As a manga artist, Naoshi Komi is best known for Nisekoi, a light harem with a plethora of humor and reaction images. Given the shift in premise from a comedy to a more dramatic work, my initial thoughts were whether or not Komi could really pull off the poignancy necessary for this type of one-shot to work. With the quality of the Nisekoi one-shot, I went in with relatively high expectations (even though I wasn't expecting the story to wow me given how Nisekoi ended).
Tokidoki is the story of young love covered by the shadow of health problems. Komi is clearly aware of the ... Jan 14, 2018
Story: Was interesting enough and touching enough to keep me reading but the plot twist at the end was so melodramatic and put such a bad taste in my mouth that I almost stopped reading. It was passable but would not reread. It brought back the bad memories I had from his previous many, Nisekoi, which I ended up hated for it’s extreme padding and reliance on harem tropes which I do not find appealing especially in a story that was supposed to be a Romcom.
Art: Pretty good, a little to glossy though. The same art style from his previous manga Nisekoi. Characters: were okay until ... Apr 17, 2021
This is just a blown out of proportion one-shot.
To be fair, for a one-shot this is pretty good, but considering its acclamation, I went into this believing this would be able to fit in with general manga despite its length. I won't say that this then suddenly becomes worse because it wasn't what I expected, but I also won't say that this story isn't automatically better because of some handicap. It is merely the average that comes and goes really. The narrative is already given in the synopsis, what I talk about is how the story goes around it. I think everything about the execution is ...

I am going to keep this review short this one-shot is pretty alright. The idea for this story is pretty cool. Pretty much this girl Takagi has a heart condition where she only has a set number of heartbeats left before she dies. Takagi leads a boring life to avoid raising her heartbeat until she meets the male lead Iijima. Through meeting Iijima she decides to let loose and enjoy her life. The concept for this story is very cool. The problem is that the story is very short. Since the story is only 1 chapter long we have to cram in all this character
