This manga is something special. He touches the heart and makes thoughtful sad happy and all in a few episodes that are more than worth reading. Personally I can put him on a par with Weken like Nana or Evangelion. Even if he is naturally closer to Nana of course. It is the story about the life of two men and their decisions. Here thoughts actions and reasons of these are repeatedly presented. Especially the narrative style because it is not linear and the narrative perspective changes again and again. So you get told the story from different perspectives and understands very well why the characters make their decisions. Even if the manga begins slowly and like a classic love story it is important for the entire work to take the time in the beginning because here the narrator already builds up so much later. Lets his characters fall away and shows what their strengths and weaknesses are. I particularly want to emphasize the simple symbolic stalk which manages to convey emotions without focusing. The story begins with two children and ends with two adults at the point I consciously do not write everything else would have taken the plot too much in advance. The author processed the gestures that probably all over 25 can relate very well and most of the 18 have already experienced but he makes the effort not simply banal dissolve. Solutions must be found here by the figures by questioning selfreflection and disappointments. There is very rarely a simple solution and as in real life there is not just one truth in the work it always makes it exciting and interesting because you think you have understood what happened and then you get the other view that presents another truth and thus the action continues to evolve without it being boring or predictable. Also important is only that you have the chance to live half a life it is not just 15 years of life that you are allowed to look at and thats what makes it so exciting and worth reading. This story has really moved me its a treasure of literature Im not saying that its just one of the best manga I know its literature in my eyes. This story is not just a boy love story or a romance novel its a revelation of the honest feelings people have. She is relentless and captivating. I hope that many people will read it and know how to protect this good story.
