Synopsis

After 17 ordinary years on Earth, Makoto Konno's journey was about to be ended by a freak accident. Then, life gave her a reset button. With her new found time-leaping powers, she immediately sets out to wipe off all the little annoyances in her daily life, from failing grades to a confession from her best friend. As her time-leaps become more frequent, she is forced to realize that every change she makes has profound repercussions that she can't foresee... and should her powers fail her, the consequences could be disastrous...

Note: At the time of writing this, I have yet to see the anime movie or any of the other media (it started with a novel and there have been a number of adaptations).

Story:
At first, the story is very disjointed - and not because of the time leaps! The beginning covers a series of minor, unconnected incidents in the main character's life, which gives you a sense of the type of person she is, but can be hard to follow.

Maybe because I'm such a science fiction and fantasy fan, I didn't expect the story to go as it does - to basically be a romance/slice ...

I've always been a fan of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Ever since I first saw the movie when I was 16, I've always loved it and hated the ending at the same time. I just couldn't accept the fact it ended that way. But even so, I still loved it.

A few years later, I was looking at the manga list of MAL when I saw it: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time... manga?! I was so shocked. And so I checked it out.

It was a short read. It only contained 5 chapters and each chapter has 40+ pages.

Basically, there's this ... girl named Makoto Konno who can leap through time (hence the title) and every time something happened that she dislike, she'll just jump back. So the plot just centers around that and the fact that there are consequences whenever she "time leaps".

I'm happy that the manga is somewhat different from the movie version that for a while I thought, "Hey. Maybe the manga will give me the very happy and satisfying ending I really want the movie to have!"

I was wrong.

I, an avid fan of the movie, barely understood what happened. I kept on clicking the right arrow button, hoping that a new page would come out instead of the "The End" that was shown on my screen but it was hopeless. When it finally sunk in, I was like "Wait, that's it?!". I have A LOT of questions regarding the ending of the manga. It's a bit better than the ending in the movie (just A BIT) but so confusing and too open-ended.

The plot is almost the same as the movie except for some scenes and the ending of this manga. I also realized that this is even more fast paced and left out a lot of details. I'm just glad I saw the movie first before reading this.

As for the art, I think it's above average compared to other manga.

So now, the question is, is it worth reading? I have two answers depending if you have already seen the movie version or not.

If you haven't seen the movie yet, I suggest that you go and watch it first. The movie explains the "time leap" and the circumstances better than the manga. But well, if you're feeling a bit daring and would like to take a risk, you can go ahead and start reading. You should make sure to still watch the movie though! It's really great!

If you have seen the movie, reading this manga is A MUST. If you're like me who's a bit disappointed on the ending of the movie, you can find a bit of satisfaction by reading this manga. Take note, however, that you should read this from the VERY beginning and not skip to the last chapter. There are some scenes that can be found here that's not in the movie and vice versa. Believe me, I tried to read the last chapter and I didn't understand what was going on. Hence why I suggest that you start from chapter 1.

Overall, despite all of my complaints, I still think that this manga is a good read and is a nice accompaniment for the movie.

Mixed Feelings

I was expecting something good but this totally let me down. I don't even really understand how it ended, the art was very good and worth looking at for sure but the characters were flat, when they were mentioned at all and the story had no grip to it. For something like this the reader should be pulled in and made wonder what they would do in that situation. I think that over all this was very unsatisfactory but I guess that's not surprising since it is adapted from a movie which is much longer. I probably wont watch the movie though because I don't ...
