 [3:19 PM] Ryan: k i wont be here for discussion so im just gonna post my thoughts on the manga. i really like how the manga told its narrative with minimal dialogue and the story being potraited in the art. i thought it was nice since it suited the calm gentle tone the manga was conveying. the chapters with the character taking his dog out for a walk and randomly visiting places i just interperteted that as a sense of being alive and cherishing the little moments in life.(edited) [3:20 PM] Ryan: and i'd say based on the narrative that if you speedrun the whole thing, you'll prob end up not liking it and think its a waste of time so id say read it at a gentle pace [3:27 PM] Ryan: so yeah solid manga i'd recommend it to those looking for atomspheric SOL story. [3:49 PM] Koala: so we start in ten minutes? [4:10 PM] PonPonPon: yeah i more or less agree with ryan's analysis, just my feelings on it are different [4:10 PM] PonPonPon: i basically see it the same way i see aria [4:10 PM] PonPonPon: you have to be in the mood for it [4:10 PM] PonPonPon: or well [4:10 PM] PonPonPon: i do anyway [4:11 PM] Vincent: I probably rushed through it too much :X. But I feel like it it was a bit detached/short in the end [4:12 PM] Vincent: (they also didn't bring the dog to the beach like they promised, nor returned the book he lend from the library and lost after that) [4:13 PM] PonPonPon: lool yeah [4:14 PM] Koala: it was a nice manga, though if you have no plot no dialogue, the art could have been a little bit better in my opinion, the views are everyday, but excelling it did not, but still I liked i [4:14 PM] Koala: t [4:14 PM] ShoujoMC: Trivia game started!
