[FREE SPOILER REVIEW]

Uchiage Hanabi is a manga adaptation of the film with the same name, that's based in the 1993's drama.

The story of this manga is the same o the anime, with minors differences, but in my opinion, the final of the manga is better explained than the anime. But yes, there's an open-ending, if you dislike anime/manga that has an open-ending, don't read this manga nor anime, you'll dislike it!
And in my anime review I write that the story was a little bit confusing, but in the manga isn't confusing, I understand it very better, it's a good thing.
The art of this manga is ... pretty cool; it's very similar to the anime.
To finalize it, I'll tell you something, if you disliked the anime film, you'd (probably) not like manga because as I said, it's very similar to anime.

I actually read this before watching the movie, as I wanted something to base the movie off due to the reviews about the ending.

I'm glad I did. The ending makes a lot more sense. But overall, the manga/movie is just...decent. It's not amazing. It's not terrible. It's just decent. The manga's art is beautiful, of course. It doesn't quite hold a candle to the film, but it's gorgeous.

There are only 10 chapters, so it feels more rushed than the film. It can still get a bit confusing at times, but if you have knowledge of the film its based off (or vice ... versa?), you'll at least get the point/plot of it.

Either way, I'm happy I read this. The ending still isn't perfect, but at least it's better than the film's ending. :)
