Well this certainly had a different storyline to the manga I've been reading lately. It was so interesting, especially when we saw them 10 years in the future, too. I even had a little cry myself at that point, they were all still so together, only missing a certain person, and the emotions were flying around.

I'm intrigued as to where this story will go. Will she manage to save him and maybe, hopefully, end up in a happy relationship with him herself?

"It’s ridiculously sentimental in some parts and maddeningly intrusive in others, and the heart of it depends on the hoary cliché of all white men being virulently racist as a matter of course. And yet . . . who can forget it once they’ve seen it? It’s urgent, unapologetic, and irrepressibly alive. Aliens from the future could find no more fitting an artifact to see America’s soul at the tail end of the twentieth century than Spike Lee’s tone poem to human nature and human chaos."

Jenny Saville recommended Vincent Van Gogh: The Letters in Books (curated)

"This is a set of six volumes and it’s expensive — but worth it for life. Van Gogh’s letters, along with the letters of Cezanne, are always inspirational to read. His pursuit of reality is thrilling, his lack of confidence, fears, doubts, excitement, his passion for nature and intensity when he talks about color, and the future of art drive you and help you accept your follies as an artist. And he did it all in such a short period of time."

Meg Baird recommended Dazed and Confused (1993) in Movies (curated)

"Such a deceptively complex “teen film.” The incredible tableau of people in trees, in fields, and at crossroads can make you feel like you’re watching a dreamlike, heady laboratory study of the art of human scale. And an amazing depiction of classic American cars! If we all get to a point sometime in the future where seeing fossil fuels being guzzled by the gallon becomes grotesque and hard to watch, I’m sure that Dazed and Confused will still look incredible."

I wish I enjoyed this as much as the first book; I did enjoy it more than the second. The conclusion that is still, in many ways, a cliffhanger leaves me satisfied enough that I don't feel the urgent need to read the next book, especially considering it will be from Wyatt's point of view, but allows that option to re!ain open in the future. For me this series started out strong but ended much weaker than I hoped for.

Hmm...I feel a little cheated that we didn't get to see a future with a happy Naho and Kakeru but at the same time I did still enjoy this ending. <spoiler>They changed his life enough that he didn't end up committing suicide, though it was very heart-stopping for a page or so wondering if he had done it</spoiler>. Not good for my emotions I must point out!

This is definitely up there with my favourite mangas!
