ONE MORE TIME… Ever had trouble letting go of your love? A stunning official comics adaptation that manages to add new layers of emotion and intimacy to one of director Makoto Shinkai’s (Your Name, Weathering with You, Suzume) defining works—finally available in gorgeous hardcover! “[W]hat this version has over the film —more depth. The format just allows for it, and Shinkai and Seike take advantage of that… So, if you’re a fan of the film, there are plenty of reasons to pick this version up. If you’ve never seen the film, I highly recommend it.”—ComicAttack “Yukiko Seike’s adaptation acquits itself on all points. More than acquits itself, actually. Because as good as Shinkai’s 5 Centimeters is (and it is good), Seike’s 5 Centimeters is better… Roundly satisfying.”—Good Ok Bad “History does not tend to smile on manga adaptations of anime properties… It is nothing short of a miracle that 5 Centimeters per Second is one of the best Japanese comics I have ever read… Seike’s take on the story is more human —a stunning feat considering the strong emotional punch of Shinkai’s original film.”—Ani-Gamers “There are a number of things I expect from a romance manga, occasionally even things that change who I think I am. But I was genuinely shocked to find something in 5 Centimeters per Second that no other romance anime or manga has ever had. Good relationship advice.”—The Anime Harvest
Love can move at the speed of terminal velocity, but as awardwinning director Makoto Shinkai reveals in his latest comic, it can only be shared and embraced by those who refuse to see it stop. Takaki Tohno quickly befriends Akari Shinohara when she transfers to his school. They grow closer to each other due to similar interests and attitudes; for instance, they both prefer to stay inside during recess due to their constitutions. As a result, they form a strong bond. Upon ending their school year, Akari moves to Tochigi, due to her parents’ jobs. The two keep in contact by writing letters, but eventually begin to drift apart.
Opowieść ta zaczyna się w latach 90. ubiegłego wieku, kiedy z komórek i internetu jeszcze nie korzystano na co dzień. Był to czas, gdy ludzie pisali do siebie listy, gdy rzeczywistość nie pędziła tak szybko do przodu, a i uczucia wiążące ludzi wydawały się trwalsze. Jest to opowieść o miłości, która przez lata łączyła dwójkę ludzi, chociaż ich losy potoczyły się zupełnie inaczej. Czy będzie im dane jeszcze raz się spotkać?
