Let me start by saying that I am head over heals in love with this manga. Even thought I know that rating 10 is pretty much as high as it gets, still I would rate it even higher if it was possible!
Tetsugaku letra is a “slice of life” story by Sahara Mizu, also known as Yumeka, Sumomo. To be honest , I didn't even know she existed until a few months ago. It was one of those days when you get tired of reading the same story over and over again, and finally decide to go look for something special. While I quickly went
...
through many different mangas I discovered this heartwarming drawing on the front page of Tetsugaku letra. More than the actual description of the story I was attracted to the indescribably beautiful way of drawing by the author/artist. As I started reading Tetsugaku letra I soon realized that Sahara Mizu wasn't just good at drawing but simply a genius at everything she does.
Story: The story is mainly about a boy in high school named Ichinose Kimitaka. After going though a hard period of his life, which had affected him so much that he confined himself in his room for almost two years, he finally decides to move on with his life. He then starts to realize how his lack of confidence to overcome difficult challenges in his life had affected his family, especially his little sister who always looked up to him.
On his first day of high school he sees the girl he once had exchanged his basketball shoes with. Through these past two years she had managed to become a basketball player, he once had told her she would definitely be good at. When he realized how far ahead of him she was, he felt too ashamed to meet her.
That’s when he decided that he would come to meet her once again, when he could look at her with head held high.
Art: As you already might have guessed I am in love with the art. I can’t stop admiring Sahara Mizu enough for her capability to express every emotion through a simple drawing. This is something (for me) only one other author/artist is capable of, Tamura Yumi.
Characters: Through out Tetsugaku letra you encounter many different characters, whom you cannot help but love. The main reason for that is because we are capable of seeing the good in every character. It shows you that people are not simply good or bad, they are the outcome of there own life experience.
I find myself laughing, crying and then laughing once again, together with all the characters in this manga.
