Description
From Tokyopop:
To what distance would you go for your one true love? In the midst of an alien invasion, Mikako joins the resistance, leaving behind the one young man she loves. As she goes deeper into space, Mikako's only connection with her boyfriend is through cell-phone text messages. The war rages on and years pass, but Mikako barely ages in the timelessness of space while Noboru grows old. How can the love of two people, torn apart by war, survive?

| Very Beautiful by puddle on October 14th, 2009, 11:45pm |

I watched the OVA and it is amongst my favourites but it felt kind of incomplete... So I was told to read manga and the manga gives more closure and has more character development. It is very very beautiful, both, - the art and the story.
If you liked the OVA please read it if you haven't watched the OVA, read it as well  It is one of my favourite stories ever and a must read.

It almost feels like Sumomo's art was made for this story, it fits so well. This is one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read, and I do read a lot, though generally my taste in books and manga have no overlap, this was a rare exception. Both the OVA and the manga are good, though I prefer it in this medium.

| so beautifuuul... by elalendi on February 11th, 2009, 3:40pm |

| The story is just as breathtakingly beautiful as the cover art. Lol that sounds really sappy, but seriously, this oneshot is worth your time. I didn't even watch Hoshi no Koe and I understood and loved this manga. And of course, the art is so pretty Mizu Sahara became my favorite mangaka. It's got a quiet, bittersweet, and soft feel to it. |

This manga is truly beautiful. It depicts the bittersweet long-distance relationship of two lovers. The story is well-paced, it doesn't seem slow but embodies the aching situation of being away, light-years away from your loved one.
The art is beautiful too, and has a somewhat sentimental feel to it. I agree with a previous comment though, the action scenes could be done better. I had a hard time pinpointing which is which (Taser or Tarsian). But then again this manga is not about battles fought with aliens. It's about love between two people that transcends time and space.
All in all, this is one of the best mangas I've read in a long time. A definite must-read!!

| Absolutely beautiful by kitsune_no_tsuki on November 6th, 2008, 10:04pm |

"Beautiful." That was my first thought after reading this. The art was really pretty, the plot was wonderfully written, and the ending was well-crafted. It left a bitter-sweet ache. I like it so much, I'm actually leaving a comment.
The characters have their internal (and external) conflicts and the story is true to life. It all feels very plausible and manages to evoke pathos. After reading a zillion shoujo comics, this had a refreshing pureness that I think true love should have.
My only complaint would be that the battle scenes were very confusing, but those weren't really all that important.

Well, Sahara Mizu has that great way of drawing emotions.. I mean, her work evokes them in some way while others would depend on the progression of the story to build up the intended emotion.
Shinkai Makoto has done well also on granting long distance relationships a new meaning, having the characters be distant not only by space but also by time.. very interesting..
The manga was more encouraging as it nears to settle something promising compared to the anime which makes viewers hope on a better conclusion for these lovers.
Want your mind to make you feel your heart beat? This isn't a bad choice to make that happen.

| Sad. by Chocoroll on October 4th, 2008, 5:56pm |

I actually just bought the manga today, published by Tokyopop. Read it in one sitting. The story is beautiful, and the art is beautiful.
I cried so much at the end. And everytime Noboru kept on saying that nothing in his life matters since Mikako was gone, it just brought me to tears.
I'm glad I bought it today. It's amazing.
Highly Recommended.

One of not many manga I gave a 10. The artwork is beautiful. The story is so tragic and bittersweet. It has such a quiet and lonley feel to it. I highly reccomend it to anybody who wants somthing sad, differant and short.

| great capture of human emotions by destati on June 22nd, 2008, 2:06am |

Sahara Mizu's art compliments Shinkai Makoto's story perfectly. Both the script and the art protrayed lonliness and sadness in such a way that it's like a match made in heaven.
Now, I wonder if Tokyopop is going to translate The Place Promised in Our Early Days, since it is the same two people again. *cross fingers*

This is probably the only manga that's made me happy because I was so sad. Which totally doesn't make sense. The point is, I loved it - and the OVA - but they were totally heartbreaking. And adorable at the same time. Well worth reading, even if you're not usually big on sci-fi.
