I can't even look at the covers of the volumes in this series without crying. One of the most heartbreaking anime/manga series EVER. I watched the anime without knowing about the manga, so I know what's coming but I can't NOT read it - yes, it's difficult to read while crying, which I do from cover to cover, but so worth it. I haven't been able to bring myself to watch the sub yet, even though I adore so much of the English cast. The dub was devastating enough. #kaoriforever

Two panels in this volume seemed especially poignant to me. One is about halfway through the book. It's a close-up of a pile of library books in Kaori's hospital room, and the caption is Kaori's thought: "I don't have time to read all these."

The other is a few pages later, when Tsubaki's friend is challenging her about her real feelings toward Kosei. The final panel of their conversation shows the sky, with the caption, "Someday it's going to be too late to fix it." (It's unclear to me whether it's said or thought by Tsubaki or her friend; any of those options would work.) It's one of those quiet moments that I like about manga and anime.

This series is such excellent storytelling.
