And should i add how freaking cute the bye-bye scene in the early chapter, back the. I probably cringe at her, now i understand how nanami must be feeling so glad, because she actually wanted a friend, she was searching for a friend thats why she so happy he said bye-bye to her... Uff my heart
THIS IS SO REALL
I tried reading this when I was younger and missed so many nuances...this is def a manga you should reread when you're older.
Didn't realize how Yano grieving old nana didn't mean he didn't love nana. Yano is such a complex character that a lot of children won't really understand until they experience more life/tragedy.
My first exposure to this story was from the anime. I love the Vibe of the anime/story, it's usually what i go for even despite the plot sometime. It's only a few years later, I actually read the manga. Honestly from anime to manga my opinion didn't change much, but after five years reading this again, so much impression was change because of my age, my better understanding of Japanese and English.
1. I thought Nanami was cringe back then... My first impression of nanami, i couldn't understand why she so mad annoyed at yano just because he didn't know her name, also for mistaking the classmate name. Now because of my better understanding of Japanese (thank to my increasing interest in vtuber/Japanese streamer) i know now that Yano did a a 'sarcasm' way of speaking, well not really consider sarcasm but annoying way of saying things that wasn't really funny.
2. Again Nanami, Every time she brought up nana-san name, I'm cringed. But now that i read again, she did not bring that up a lot (tho there about one or two time i think that she really shouldn't) Also the timing and context when she brings up her name wasn't that bad as i thought it was, its pretty in line with their communication about her.
3. Yano.... Boy i don't know why back then i thought he was not sincere with his feeling about nanami,,, now it was FREAKING OBVIOUS he likes her so much... I thought he just a flirtatious guy. My young self hurt so much every interaction he have had with yamato and couldn't understand why he wanted her sister (nana-san) to come back even though he already dating and says he like nanami, (regarding the chapter at the sea) i didn't believe in him back then. I'm so sad
4. Yano misery was sadder and worser then i thought, back then i couldn't accept he leave her like that.. i probably thought there's a way, and he shouldn't live with that glasses girl... But now, i understand him better, why he chose that path.
I know this was a good story, like i said the vibe (probay mellow to describe it ) i love it, and always thought of reread but all this reason above is why i don't want to reread because how i don't like the each of this behaviour and i don't want to get hurt and cringe. My oh my I don't know time and age can change the thought this much 1000/10 reread
