Hello everyone. So I remember reading this really short story once and it was so sad that I just closed it without thinking of memorizing the title in case I want to read it again. But now I want to read it again, so I need help to find the title please.
The manga was really short, probably had 7 chapters. The story started with a workaholic husband getting to know that his wife had died. But he was very unfazed about it. In fact it was his office that forced him to take a week long leave, but he took only 3 days off take care of the insurance and other legal issues. Then after going back to work, one day he saw a school girl on the metro who was probably wearing mismatched socks. Somehow the girl picked his attention and he found himself getting obsessed with her to the point he was getting sidetracked from his daily life and even having to consult a therapist to check if he had pedophilic tendencies... Then one day out of desperation, he got off the metro at the same station as that girl and followed her to her school until he realized that he was standing in front of his own alma mater... Then he followed the girl inside the school and saw the girl meeting a boy her age. He looked at the boy and realized that it was actually him in the past and the girl he had been obsessing over was his wife in her younger days. It was probably his imagination or something supernatural, or the guilt and heartbreak he had been suppressing to not deal with, but it forced him to revisit their whole life and see just how badly he had orgotten about his while chasing success that he once wanted to do just to treat her right. The story ended with him finally breaking down.
