Really enjoyed, but I would like to discuss some of the economical aspect, just for the sake of speculation.
Who is buying lifespan, time and health? What do they gain? The most evident case would be health: you buy from healthy people and sell to sick one, but how does it work when they sell time? They send someone to work for you?
Selling time isn't the exactly same thing as having a job? I mean, the concept of payed job in itself is exactly the idea of selling your time and competences.
When you buy lifespan, the quality is the same of yours, or you get the same quality of life as the one that sold that particular lifespan? Given the fact that you can change the quality of your life, I'd say that the quality of the lifespan you get depend only on you, but that would also mean that lifespan has an intrinsic value unrelated to the donor's life's quality. You may use the quality of life to estimate how much they are willing to pay/you have to offer in order to buy/sell lifespan, but then that sould be based on the past life, given the fact that the client doesn't have any factual knowledge of his future.
If you base the evaluation on possible future, then all of this become a scam in which you convince depressed people that their life is meaningless and then acquire their lifespan for nothing. The last extra chapter seems to hint that this is actually the case...

Miyagi's mother worked for the agency for some years for a lifespan she never get: Miyagi should have inherited a credit, if anything. The whole Miyagi-MC transaction doesn't made any sense: she had 30 year worth of debt, she added 300'000 yen extra that MC throw from a bridge, than MC sell his life for less than that amount and she is left with three years worth of debts? How does it works?
On an a side note, MC should have painted for the remaining thirty days, buy back his lifespan for 30 yen, sell the paint to repay Miyagi's debt in full and then they lived happily ever after. But if he weren't stupid, he wouldn't have sold his life to begin with...
