Story by Daimuro Kishi and art by Tamao Ichinose

From back covers:
Vol 1: Never run out of time again! High school student Miu Asahina stumbles upon a shop where time is loaned to anyone who needs it. But the price is a memory one risks losing forever. Miu gets hired by the manager to help other people manage their time ... too bad she can't handle her own.
Vol 2: Is the Time shop closing for good?! In this series finale, Miu tries to stop two former sweethearts from trading in their memories in order to forget their past relationship. Then Mr. Kusaka announces he's selling all the Time Shop's assets and closing up for good. Can Miu and Ginzo change his mind?

Some points:
- Borrowed from local public library.
- It's episodic.
- There is one cliffhanger that was unexpected. Over all enjoyable read, quite a nice surprise. I like the heroine.
- I like Ginzo and Miu.
- Interesting idea, borrowing time and trading time. That begs a question, would I do it if it were possible? Hm ....

Bottom line, very fast and fun read.

74b. 1 volume of Alice in the country of hearts (ハートの国のアリス ~Wonderful Wonder World~, Heart no Kuni no Alice ~Wonderful Wonder World~).
