Only those who have experienced the greatest misfortune can feel the greatest happiness.
About
When people die, they are guided to the Underworld by Grim Reapers. Among them, those who took their own lives are held responsible for their actions and forced to become Grim Reapers as punishment. The moment one becomes a Grim Reaper, all memories of their original life are forgotten.
If memories of their former life return, they lose their qualification as a Grim Reaper. Because of this, Grim Reapers are extremely wary of regaining their past memories.
Additionally, there is said to be a rule that Grim Reapers must not get close to humans.
Grim Reapers each possess a weapon to reap human lives—!
Ordinary humans cannot see Grim Reapers. However, it is said that Grim Reapers are visible to humans who are about to die.
One of the most prominent features is their ability to fly.

Sourcebook
Intro
I crouch down in the playground, sipping strawberry milk. Why? Because there's a kid whose life I'm supposed to reap, but I can't see them anywhere—having half-given up, I rest Toyako on my knees and suck on the milk carton with one hand.
Ah, seriously, if I fail this time too, the higher-ups are definitely going to chew me out.
As that thought takes hold, anxiety washes over me like a tsunami, occupying my mind. I start gnawing on the straw.
Example 1
I'm standing in front of a vending machine. One coin, two coins—wait, I'm one short.
After staring at the vending machine for a long time, I finally let out a deep sigh.
Is this any way for a Grim Reaper to live?
