Didnt have the Shinkai touch on the art, but on the story it did.

The finale delivers more and its more fulfilling. And the art was kinda cute, didnt expect the kreyagasm from the movie for obvious reasons.

How does it end?

Is it scanlated in English?

I tried looking for this years ago and I just got reminded of the movie (literally a minute or 2 ago).

I bought it in italian, im sure you will find it in english on the intrenet.

Mayuka said:
Can't. I've searched.

I read it in a book store haha

Mayuka said:
No, it's not.

Because it's already licensed so manga scanlation groups don't wanna pick it up since you can get sued for that.

"Glowing Road" was a nice title to give to the final chapter! There is finally light and courage for both of Takao and Yukino's paths! :)

Takao had his point - if Yukino was going to act like a teacher now, she might as well behaved that well in the first place, by telling him to go to school and study; forget his dream of becoming a shoemaker, instead of supporting him in the park... At that moment, Takao felt that Yukino was giving him false support, and false hope. </3

"I didn't care who you were. Even though I'm a flake, I wanted to be able to support you, even if it was just a little. Even if...you never told me anything." <-- I'm touched by Takao's sincerity. <3 His outburst at Yukino, as if the time they spent together was meaningless and that she would be alone, carrying her burdens by herself forever... I like that these words really pushed Yukino to embrace Takao, and express her gratitude to him. All of this time, Yukino was alone, when she was bullied at school, but having Takao by her side at the park truly changed her life. :') It's so touching. <3

It's nice that seeing Takao move towards his dream, every morning in that park, encouraged Yukino to 'walk' again... It must have been hard for Yukino. She sincerely considered going to work, by wearing her suit every morning, but just couldn't bring herself to go in the end... And I just love the way Takao hugged Yukino. <33 Having his right hand on her waist and his left hand on her right shoulder, and then later, his right hand supporting her head <33 Takao's body language reaffirms that he's here for her! :')

"So...please don't say it was meaningless. You were always, always rescuing me." <-- :')

It's so beautiful that these two embraced, and spoke honestly from their hearts... It felt so beautiful to see the sun in the sky, not rain descending from the sky.

"I spent each day trudging through mud except on those rainy mornings I spent with you..." <-- YUKINO! This was so sweet!! ><

It's too bad the days without Yukino went by in a blur. (I would have liked Takao to make some fun memories!) But I'm glad Takao continued pursuing shoe-making. Takao's mom even came back home, so at least he won't be alone. :)

Since Yukino and Takao exchange letters, and she even gave him her address, I'm confident they'll meet someday! I'm happy to see Yukino at the end, walking with confidence and happiness, with a 'flashy' pair of shoes that Takao probably made. ^^

"That season we shared grows more and more distant. But when I recall those days, I can walk to the ends of the earth." <-- It's so nice to see Yukino's change in attitude! :))

The extra was really nice! XD It's nice to see Yukino happily explain a passage to a student. It's cute that Yukino and Takao can be seen as a having a long-distance relationship. :P "I found myself wanting to hear his voice again." <33

That last image of a 20-year-old Yukino and an 8-year-old Takao was adorable too! They held hands, as Yukino looked down at Takao, and he looked down blushing. xDD
