I have been delay reading the last 2 (well 3 if you count the booklet) chapters because it's starting to get heavy in chapter 7/8/9 was it? and finally decide to finish it once and for all, because I don't like having a nearly finished progress lingering longer than it should, and well..... I regret it. I regret ever reading this (in a good way don't worry), liking this, enjoying this, and I also regret getting to know the characters and eventually grow a liking to everyone of them (still in a good way).

Shirou can seem pretty apathetic with some personality at first, but I slowly warms to him as the story goes. Kiku and him are perfect for each other (cries) and the flow of the story is perfect! it's not slow burn and more like slow paced. You can also REALLY feel that slice of life bit in every page, because everything they do is just very mundane while they still have this ominous past that's yet to unfold, it's beautiful really.

All and all, I think this manga perfectly describes Beautiful Tragedy, if there's such expression.

The lovely countryside scenery captivated me immediately, as well as the image of a man who seemed to have slipped through time in the middle of it. I thought the characters were interesting and compelling as I watched their quiet tension as the story took on a slow, slice-of-lifey approach while the readers know that the mystery of who this man who slipped through time is lurking in the background.

I love the pace, sweetly but almost alarmingly slow. We are treated to an image of a happy life between a lonely teen and this mysterious but warm stranger, all the while a sense of doom lingering in the back of our minds.

The ending. omg. I don't want to spoil it, but I think it's almost perfect. That's all I'll say. Everyone can throw rotten tomatoes at me.

The art is very lovely as well, as expected of Syaku. God what I wouldn't give to have physical copies. An English publisher needs to license this.

Seriously, it's so interesting. There's more to this story than meets the eyes. There's a whole load of things going on between the characters, in their heads and in their hearts as well, even through at first glance they live ordinary life. Slowly but inevitably the tension is rising up.

It takes some effort to understand what the author is trying to convey. Characters are unique, there's slight supernatural flip in storyline. At first I thought the story is awkward, but soon I realized how awesome this work is. The art fits the story, it's scratchy but pleasant and at times it's very beautiful - to create a certain mood.

The pilot standing in a lake, who appeared out of nowhere... why did he appear? Is he a lost soul? Is it grief that holds him onto this world? or maybe he was given a second chance? what will happen when he finds his answers? those are just few questions that kept bothering me. I guess not everybody like this type of manga, but I enjoyed this story a lot. I just started reading the continuation, and honestly, I can't wait to find out how it's gonna end.
