Masterpiece. I liked the manga but the seeing it adapted was something else. The extended shots of fujino running through the rice fields in the rain, her and kyomoto in the city, and the beautiful soundtrack to accompany all of it. You can tell it mirrors Fujimoto's own experience with art very closely; creating art is frustrating, tedious, and seemingly fruitless at times, yet capable of turning into something amazing like look back.
Its a testament to creators who continue to write and draw in the face of setback. Fujino keeps drawing manga after tragedy strikes, just like kyoani still survives today after the arson attack.

I don't do reviews but this series deserves it. It's a joy to read and both the main leads are just the best. The art is freakishly good for a weekly series, like the level of detail in the panels is stunning. Honestly a breath of fresh air what with all the cookie cutter high school romances I've read and watched. But if you're a sucker for this kind of stuff like me, I definitely recommend it. Only downsides of this series is that there aren't enough chapters and there's no anime adaptation (yet) |
