I'm bawling right now while typing all the feels I have for this manga. There are a few spoilers so please do read this very long comment after reading the manga.
Let me start of with how the artwork of sensei was magical and the story made me cry like a baby. Hahahaha. Can't wait to read your other works sensei~ GANBARO ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ
I think how I am as a person leans more towards kamisawa's character in the story. I would have also done everything he did; not tell about the strings finally connecting, hiding how I really feel, and choosing that important person's happiness over my own. His thoughts made me go, 'Same feeling Kamisawa. I understand what you mean.' When he and Arako had a talk after finding out first about Hara's string connecting, and Arako was telling him to tell Hara already, and Kamisawa told him he wouldn't and explained that when the time came that he and Hara would break up, he would feel happier knowing that Hara would still find his way to his fated partner. Kamisawa used 'when' instead of 'if,' as if he was already sure that a time would come where they would break because he didn't want to gamble with the universe if by chance the strings never attach which leaves Hara lonely. This scene was so heartbreaking but at the same time, it reminded me of how harsh fate and life truly is and that it happens. It's not just in these stories but it really does happen in real life. I don't know if it's just me who believes this but sometimes when one is extraordinarily happy, something so painful will surely come after, because happiness always has a price. (I became a downer all of a sudden there. Hahaha.)
His gift was a beautiful curse. I think that was what made me cry so much. Being able to know someone else's fate and not knowing or having his own. Always being anxious of the happiness he feels, as if kamisama was saying, 'Ahhh, you've been too happy. I think it's time I drop you again.' I literally wanted to hug him and get mad at kamisama for letting him go through such experiences. I want to tell him that he'll soon find happiness but I think that's too much of a leading statement because I'm not sure of the 'soon.' And I wouldn't want to add any more to the heavy feeling he feels. It really does a toll on how one sees things. If you read the extra chapter (you can find someone sending a link in the comment section) he cut the string for him yet somehow for me it felt like he didn't or I don't know, we never truly got to see the 'red string' itself. But that scene, I hated it somehow, I dunno, I somehow wanted to know how strong Hara's feelings were. I did understand that the string being connected made it very hard of Kamisawa and that it was what made Hara and her boss always cross paths but I think I wish it had went in a way where they did try to change fate. Like when Haru and Arako had a conversation, and Arako telling Hara that sometimes our feelings are stronger than this so-called 'fate.' I somehow wanted sensei to go with being able to let the string lose on its own, and somehow a new string replaces this. Something like that, I have other ideas but lets go with that weird one. I wanted to see how Hara can make fate go his way. Hahahaha. It's getting confusing, I know. It did end in a good way but it made me still feel sad because what if Hara was truly destined to be with his boss, and that no matter how many times Kamisawa cuts the string, it magically get reconnected again. Aghhh, I have so much what ifs and feels that I feel like my words are spiralling. This is enough for now. I think sometimes there are stories that doesn't need much more complications for it's already painful as is, and that we should strive for happiness that we want and we deserve. Hahahahahaha. So random.
I want to add so much more but this has been too long but I seriously have so much what ifs and ideas and possible shiz. Ughhhhh. This was still beautiful.
