Whoa this was much more interesting than I thought it would be. A letter from the future trying to correct past regrets and a death?, I like this kind of plot. I wonder how the future Naho was able to get that letter to the one in the present. Hmmm... a bad fate lies for Kakeru and I am very intrigued as to what's going to happen.

Art is very clean and nice.

This is a pretty interesting set up that has the potential to be really emotional. Ah, I'm pretty excited about where this goes.

First great chapter. Just the type of stories I enjoy. Somehow, dunno why, gave me a feeling of Toki wo kakeru shoujo...;)

It gave me the same feeling, too... Maybe because they both have tragic elements like the main lead "going to die"? ><

But really, I'm liking this manga. I need to prepare my heart for this. ;__;

I wonder what happened... Also so that dude is carrying a baby and seems to be her lover right? Well the child is probably more than a year old (Kakeru dies when she is 26 and she is now 27) so does that mean that they were living together and had a child? Or is that someone else's child? Cause I mean in shoujo getting together with someone a year (maybe less) after the main love's death is rather fast...

1. As of 4/17/2014, this manga is ranked #14. so decided to give it a shot because of the score

2. Sending letters to the past is interesting

3. Not really fond of the characters. Everyone living their normal lives is kinda boring

This is so interesting :D So now I guess she will try to save Kakeru from his future death.
The characters are nice and just the right number! But I can't say the art style is my type..

that weird moment when someone sugests you to read a manga .. and you're like "no way in hell" and when you realize you're simply hooked ..
im on chapter 6 already .. and I have to say I'm just loving this .. never would've thought of enjoying a manga this much ..
The plot so far is just amazing .. and you just have the need to know whats going on and what will happen

PS: sensing i'm gonna have a huge heartbreak and a depression after reading this :)

This was an great opening to the manga. The plot is interesting and the characters and art are great! The ending seemed nice, with future Naho and her family, though I wonder if anything will change as the story progresses. And I think we all will keep an eye on Kakeru.

Pretty good start, I'm already hooked. Naho seems to be doing her best to avoid the tragedy of Kakeru's death. Man, I wish I could send letters to the past, too.

I decided to read this manga without reading the sypnosis so it was a nice surprise that first chapter.
But with the whole theme of death being brought to the table, I foresee this series will get very dark and depressive!
Hope it is a great read, since it surely seems promising at this point in time.

NICE.

So, Naho is the girl who has the ability to write back in time, somehow. Just like in Back to the Future II. And instead of ending up with Kakeru, who is dead 10 years in the future, she ends up with Suwa Hiroto, the orange haired guy.

I SMELL CHILDHOOD ABUSE. Reason why Kakeru was absent for 2 weeks could be because of childhood abuse at home. I watched 2 anime touching the same subject before.
Kakeru could have been murdered or took to suicide.



The reason Kakeru was able to understand that Naho felt left out was because of his very condition, he understands how it is like to feel when no one understands how he feels. And Naho probably sympathized with him in the same way after knowing of the dairy.

ANOMALY 1:

Not asking Kakeru to join them changed things. Cause, if Naho asked Kakeru, Kakeru would have felt that everyone was asking him out and maybe felt peer pressure. Hence he wouldn't have come, giving some excuse. But when Naho didn't ask, Kakeru felt that it was weird that someone in such a group, where everyone asked him out, didn't. This was the first sign that Kakeru was able to be comfortable with, since someone didn't attempt to force a connection with him, he probably felt happy to initiate it himself instead.

ANOMALY 2:
Taking the batting stance. In original timeline, when Asuza, Naho liked him because he was willing to take responsibility for Naho's injuries. And could have been the one who disinfected her wound in that timeline too. In the current timeline, when Naho volunteered, Naho won instead of Asuza, but this time, Kakeru could have opened a bit about himself when he said she "put up with it" will lead to her loss.

Now, what other people usually tend to put up with it even though they shouldn't? Childhood abuse victims. Exactly.



Only someone who has been hurt a lot knows when someone else is hurt, when no one else notices.

Just an image to spice things up.



I have a theory that there could be multiple time travels and this may not be the first timeline Naho got the diary.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

It was alright. I collected all 6 volumes of this manga before I started reading it and thought it was just gonna be an ordinary lovestory (judging the book by its cover lol) and yet here we have some scifi hints. I'm kind of curious.
