Same here. If the preview is anything to go by the rest is going to look glorious animated ^-^

But I have to say I wasn't expecting that ending. It wasn't listed as a tragedy on mangaupdates when I started reading so I thought it would be a cute story but... yeah, not so much >_<

I still really liked it, though. If it ever gets licensed I'm definitely buying the manga.

Wow didn't know it would end with just 1 volume. I cried ;__; that was touching and sad. Now I'm just waiting for the movie, which I'm sure will make me cry even more. I'm bummed now since there's no more Haru chapters. I got attached to the manga in less than 4 chapters. Movie when???

It was an unexpected twist there at the end, I really did not think it was her or that it would be a tragedy like that.

Man, just 4 chapters and I'm crying like a child. That plot twist in this chapter was totally unexpected, my heart is broke. ;;

Can't wait to watch the movie, I'm sure it will be so touching as the manga.

It was Kurumi who died on that plane, not Haru, and because he couldn't accept her death he retreated into himself and became robot-like (hence the character robot-Hal) so that he could cope. He also tricked himself and/or changed his memories so that he created another Haru who died (and in a way a part of him did if his closeness to Kurumi is any indication) but his friend broke through that illusion when he confronted Hal/Haru near the end of the story. At least that's my take on it.

PS. I refer to the robot as Hal and the human as Haru to avoid any confusion XD

Thank you, Smurd. That did put things into perspective for me. I had to reread Chapter 4 like 3 times to finally get all of it. Its like on the same level as Inception to what he did to himself.

OH how my heart aches T.T ... I envy their love for each other T.T but I hate to see it ended to Hal making kurumi's wish for them come true yet alone....though I think that since the author left his future in our imagination... he will have someone again:)

HOW TO SAVE ANIME IN THREE SIMPLE STEPS

  1. To have Mars of Destruction, Skelter Heaven, and Pupa properly adapted in TV series form by Madhouse
  2. To have Inferno Cop properly adapted in TV series form by Bones, director: Urobuchi Gen
  3. An anime crossover of Mushishi x ARIA x Haibane Renmei.


Should even one of the above conditions cannot be done, anime is still at risk.

While reading I could not grasp everything at once because we were given pieces from present and past, and sometimes it was hard to understand which is which. At first I thought that it was really progressive future where robots could eat human food, think for themselves and even feel. I thought that the idea would be to show how robots became more humanlike. But that was just an illusion. Hal was always a human! :( When I understood that it was Kurumi who died, my heart clenched and tears started streaming down my face. I felt all the pain at once. The realization of what was happening hit me pretty hard.
