Rec - Kimi ga Naita Hi

Description

Aizawa Minami is a girl who has never cried in her life. She's awkward with her feelings, and she carries a camcorder to film everything she likes. Because of her quirks, she's labeled as a freak and alienated by her classmates.

Satoru is her classmate and a recently retired teen actor who understands her. They quickly become friends, but what Minami doesn't know is that Satoru is hiding his secret from the world...

The included oneshots: "Kira-fuwa Kiss" and "Kira-fuwa Xmas" have not been translated.

*The oneshot Blue Wings from HAL takes place before this. In that story, Satoru's first name is different because the translations were done by different groups and 暁 can be read as Akira or Satoru.

It was Beautiful.

by Reika_StaR

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

A touching love story of two strong individuals.

This is the first time I read the author's work so I don't really know what to expect, except that it's quite obvious since the first chapter that it has a tragic ending. For me after knowing a manga has that kind of ending, I don't feel depressed after reading the end because I knew from the start what will happen. However, in THIS series even knowing that, I still shed tears as I read the last couple of pages, it touch me, the love between the two without any physical intimacy in their relationship was delivered to me by the author in those pages before the end.

After finishing it and dried my tears I thought "Cool! For a short series that was beautiful."

I think what makes this manga so beautiful is the execution. There are hints placed all through-out the four chapters about what is going to happen--so when the actual events occur, everything makes sense. You don't expect it, but when everything happens, you aren't exactly surprised... and that makes it all the more tragic.
I often give up on reading romance manga because too often the lead couple and the plot are made of flimsy substance; the fact that this short piece focuses on the inevitable tragedy of its romantic couple gave it a beautiful depth.
The characters aren't the most original. Not even the story is original. But what makes REC so great, enjoyable and painful to read is the romantic AND individual development of the two. They affect each other so positively, not burdened by trivial worries.
The ending really, really hurts in the absolutely best way. My chest clenched with that painful emotion I only experienced when I heard my grandfather passed away. I'm not one to cry, but I had grown so attached to the two within the few short chapters that when I saw the last page, I lost it.
Very well done. If you're okay with tragedy, this manga is a great reminder to love those around you more than your own life.

Must Read.

This manga has been one of my favourites so far. I read it some years ago, so forgive me if I get some things wrong. The plot is great and I can definitely feel and sympathise for the characters, something that only happens with really good manga for me. The ending could have not been better and if it had ended differently, it would have not been memorable and great as it is. The art is beautiful.

You just have to read it.

Like the comments say below, this is truly a beautiful SHORT manga.
The ending was bittersweet, but that only made it better.

I won't say more, since it already has been mentioned, in the comments below.

T^T sob sob...i keep on saying ..."ok its fiction ok,dont u dare cry"..huhu...sob sob...
Personally thinking...
In the whole process of the story exclude the ending..the story wasnt have the tragic feeli'n in it..but at the end..when the guy from the media gave her the camera n when she saw the footage of the video satoru take before he died...that when my emotion breaked..when i saw minami start to cried...i also started to cried...

It really worth reading...give a try...

Truly is bittersweet.

These two individuals shared a bond like no other.

The manga has little physical interaction between the two leads. At first I thought there wouldn't be much chemistry and I was a bit sad, to tell you the truth, but the lack of physicality did not affect that romantic, loving feel. It just made it seem more special. The mangaka was able to portray that final blow in the final pages that just made me think "WOW ;A;" (I think most people teared at that point).

The tragic end was expected but yet unexpected.
In a nutshell, it was a nice read 🙂

So Bittersweet.

This was the first manga I ever read from this mangaka. It was just something I chose from liking thee cover to pass time.

I really didn't expect to like it so much. It gave me a really weird feeling. And while it has some cliche stuff, The execution is pretty good.
What made it better was the two leads. While they don't might not seem much to some readers. But to me, After reading god knows how many shoujo manga's, I know they were much better than most Shoujo hero's & heroines. Not once did they get in my nerves (which is an achievements in itself xD) and they were pretty lovable.

The ending fit the story so much (even if I wanted a happier one). I felt like I was watching a movie scene. And the last page made me tear up ;u;

So if you want something short to read. Give it a try!

Shits sad man.....

by Shellshock

Bruh

This series is about a girl who doesn't feel anything and the MMC who is a teenage actor and there romantic connection with each other. thats pretty much it

I mean the series is a small 1 volume series. Saying anymore would be a spoiler. But like Shit is sad man. Its not like bawling or anything but goddamn the author really pulled my heartstrings like that. The series is ok overall though. But i think it does a decent enough job to want you feel for the characters. To make you want to cry like they do. Its quite impressive how the author is able to make you get attached with 1 volume. Overall its good. Just not a must read. 6/10

The series HAL is a collection of oneshots. the final oneshot is actually a prequel to Rec. You can decide to read before or after Rec.
