5 Centimeters Per Second
5 Centimeters Per Second | Makoto Shinkai
11 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
Love can move at the speed of terminal velocity, but as award-winning 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.

This was such a beautifully written light novel. It holds two stories and each of them were touching and something anyone can relate to in some form or fashion. This book is actually going to make my keeper shelf. #mangathemedread #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

CBee @RaeLovesToRead so this is weird and I‘m not sure why - I can‘t add the song 🤔 Did a little digging and it looks like the album is listed but not playable? It‘s odd. (edited) 2y

Mehso-so

Eh. It was alright, but sometimes I was confused or left dissatisfied. Maybe it's because I'm out of practice with manga. I don't know.

He was like a star in the sky, seemingly close by, but shining from an impossible distance.

What are you thinking off in a place I've never been? Are we just a memory now?

I've been like this, falling all the way down at the tiniest thing, and soaring up again when I see him, for five years now.

I don't quite understand yet what it really means to grow up. But what I want is to be a person who won't disappoint you if we happen to meet somewhere, someday a long time from now.

Whenever I go to check out a book, it always turns out you've read it.

Haven't read manga in a long time. Here goes nothing.
