I am unsure how to rate this one.
Haruka Tooki is an interesting read. It's a huge mess, the relationship between the main-characters may feel sudden/rushed, the characters seem flat, and based on those kinds of factors - you could even say that it's just a bad manga, compared to other reads. But despite that, the huge amounts of emotions of regret, guilt, wanting to run away so badly - they're so clearly portrayed through the story, and it feels real. Feelings of trying your hardest to get by, while clearly knowing that you're still chained down by the lingering past. People are horrible, memories are temporary, the future is uncertain: where am I supposed to place my faith?
After all they endure, you can't help but feel relief for the characters, when they finally meet their tragic end. You did your best. |
