| Loved it. One more to come, can't wait to see what's going to happen there. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| This is where the movie ends. Can't wait for the next chapter. I wonder what it will cover... |
| Grr same ending as the movie :/ I still liked the series though. I wonder how Akari & Takaki ended up living in the same town...? Weird. Well one more chapter to go, wonder how this series will wrap up? Looking forward to chapter 11, the final chapter.  |
| cant wait for the next chapter! ^_^ did he really not see her after the train passed? |
| This felt like the last chapter, but i wonder what the next chapter might have in store? I'm glad Takaki didn't run after Takari, instead he kept moving forward. It's nice how they see each other again in the town where they first met as little kids. Fate!? |
elliston said: I absolutely recommend the movie to everyone sappy enough to watch it. Now that you've read the manga, I recommend you should not watch the movie. The movie is a masterpiece but from what I've seen, the manga is quite faithful to it and it explains some of the things left out in the movie. Only four animes made me emotional enough to shed manly tears and this was one of them. Still, the two of them could not end together, since Akari is engaged :|there's still 1 more chapter to go. i wish they would've ended up together. you could not believe how much i was crying through out this whole manga. i don't even want to watch the movie anymore. it's depressing but still very lovely. captainandrew said: I think she hid herself. My belief remains that she does the same in the movie.cant wait for the next chapter! ^_^ did he really not see her after the train passed? Arcanus said: ^This. I think it will be a monologue by Takaki though.This is where the movie ends. Can't wait for the next chapter. I wonder what it will cover... |
| It's alright.. one more chapter. |
Llght said: Dude if you watched it 1st before reading, then you'll get disappointed, I mean the movie was I think 2009.. (I've already moved on) so expecting this manga to be a little okay nowI picked up the mango today out of curiosity from the title. I must say that it was a lovely read indeed. However, the ending was disappointing in a way/ or you could say in a depressing way. She got married to a character that wasn't even introduced. And somehow the Takaki and Akari are living in the same town? ... |

| I just wished they talked. It would be more of a fitting resolution (assuming the end result is the same). I mean... just walking off like that. If she did recognize him, then it was a bit bitchy thing to do. If you ran across an old childhood friend, would you ignore him? |
| You're a wrongularity from which no right can escape! Chuck Norris was wrong once - He thought HE made a mistake! |
| If there is (in fact, I know there is) a deeper meaning behind the actions of the two at the end, than it grazed my head and flew past it. Maybe it's my sense of logic... or maybe that I can at least some what connect because I moved a lot as a child as well... But there's just no God damn good reason to at least not turn around and acknowledge each other's existence. I'm sorry, but that's just how I see it. Was it symbolic? Absolutely. I get it. That's what it was aiming for. I might not "get it" in the sense that I didn't fully comprehend the message, but I know enough to know that it was suppose to be symbolic through action, and that particular action just happened to be dumb.

If she did recognize him, then it was a bit bitchy thing to do. If you ran across an old childhood friend, would you ignore him? THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. It's just very irksome. Would it really have changed the impact of the end result (them not being together) if they contacted each other? Would it suddenly go from, "Oh, how bittersweet" to "meh, suddenly it's not so deep"? No, the message would have still been sent to the audience, but the resolution would have felt more relieving to know that the protagonist can finally be at ease. |
| why just why didnt she turn around? why !!! i mean it feels weird inside i mean didnt she say smth like it will be better? or was it his imagination? |
| My favorite quotes from animes: Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies. I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass We are humans. - Shinsekai yori 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! - One punch man |
| Mhmm.. Nice one.. Can't wait to see the last chapter!! |

| Quite faithful to the movie, and no less heartbreaking. I was expecting it to have a slightly different ending, such as Akari being there too, smiling, Takaki smiling back, and then they part ways. The little Akari waving goodbye at Takaki was a nice touch though. It felt like Takaki had finally let go of his love for Akari, represented by the little girl he first met now finally saying goodbye to him. Even though Akari hasn't met him in years, it seems she still has lingering feelings and still wishes and hopes for Takaki to be strong and happy. |

| just like the movie, wish they had talked or even looked at each other after the train has passed. Well, let's see what's in the last chapter. |
