Chapter 9 Entitled: End Theme 3

Finally at last, we reach an end to this little 'End Theme' Arc.
Hmm Several details about this manga series strongly relates to the Movie.
sooo Takaki & Risa really did split huh?
Looks like Akari has found a lover, named Yuuichi..? and shes getting married soon.
I don't really understand the 2nd half of the chapter.. like were Takaki and Akari really going to meet up? or am i just reading it wrong..?
Akari & Takaki were reminiscing of their distant pasts in this chapter...
Well Takaki will be alone then? just like in the movie...
Looking forward to chapter 10...

Such a sad scene, when Risa and Takaki parted.T-T
And i like how first half of the chapter was dedicated to expressing the feelings Takaki had of the past, and the second half was Akari's feeling. Brilliant idea.

I believe Takaki would end up alone by the end of the manga.

This is so much better than the anime movie. So much more detail about what's happening in this third arc. I'm really enjoying all the added content. It's been really interesting to see how Takaki is still regretting not getting to be with Akari. Some people might think it's a little extreme, but I don't think so.

Glad Takaki could fully open up to Risa in the end and tell her what he has been feeling all this time, things he never told anybody else. Risa really loves him. The lines about her wanting to be with him being a wish, not a promise, was really good.

It was great to see first Takaki's thoughts and then Akari's. Akari's lines aren't that different from the movie, but it really expanded upon it, specifically the letter Akari wrote for Takaki. In the movie, Akari seemed a bit cold and distant, as though she had by then completely forgotten Takaki except as a part of her memory from middle school. But here it seems Takaki never truly left Akari's memories. Akari seems to still have lingering feelings for Takaki that will never die out, but Akari can handle them better and doesn't seem to regret it. Those words Akari said though...

"No matter where you are, or how far you would go, I will always, like you, Takaki-kun. Please, please, just remember that."

And then the panel of Takaki crying, the snows of Tokyo, and the snow on the cherry tree.

Beautiful.
