Our take on the 9th day:第九日

The page gives substantial space to the fire, the afterlife premise, and the four character introductions, but does not explain how the nine-day period functions or what activities shape Shyou’s progress.

What is the 9th day:第九日?

After dying while rescuing a girl from an autumn fire, Shyou remains in the world as a soul.

A death messenger tells him that he has nine days to fulfil his desire. During a vision of autumn leaves gathering at a crossroads, Shyou encounters a girl he feels connected to but cannot identify.

The story follows his effort to understand that bond through four possible figures: Saki, a kind-hearted girl with albinism; Maki, a lively Student Union President; Mai, an active girl who helps her father operate a game shop; and Suzu, a shrine psychic who can see souls. The central mystery asks which of them is truly connected to Shyou, beginning with the fire incident that ended his ordinary life.
