Synopsis

Sakutarou "Saku" Matsumoto is just an average guy traveling to Australia to spread the ashes of his deceased girlfriend, Aki Hirose, over Ayers Rock—a place she wished to see before she passed. On his journey, Saku reminisces about the first day he met the popular Aki in middle school, their budding relationship, and the leukemia diagnosis that cut her life short. Sekai no Chuushin de, Ai wo Sakebu depicts a melodramatic romance between two young individuals as they grow up and learn what love truly means to them.

So, what can I say about this manga? It’s short, it’s touching, it’s bittersweet, it’s perfect in my eyes. The story revolves around two main characters named Saku and Aki and the relationship that develops between them. At first glance, the manga feels like your typical romantic slice of life with a normal, average guy falling in love with a cute, outgoing girl.

Never in my life have I read something that was capable of ...

This is the first tragedy that I have read that's why I have a lot of expectations. Unfortunately, most of my expectations were not met.

This is a story of two young lovers who tried to fight the impossible. The girl is sick of a fatal disease and as she struggle to live a day at a time, the boy tried his best to keep her smiles. A story that can be considered cliche nonetheless a beautiful and young love.

I did enjoy reading the story, especially the last part. But I'd say that the story is still lacking. Yes, it's heartfelt but not enough to ...

I've read the book and I totally love it, so after I've read this manga. I don't like it so much. The story is complete, the same as the book, but I don't like the drawings. Although the story is complete, I advise against this manga, because the drawings, in my opinion, don't transmit the same emotions of the book.
