| Well, just finished the manga 2 days ago and i have to say that it's actually a great ones.. That said, the second half of the series is somewhat a letdown compare to the first half and the ending isn't something that i can say thrilling or amazing, it's still decent enough though.. Anyway, i'll just wait to see the last episode of the anime next week since i guess they will take the different route to finish it except the last chapter one.. Overall i can say that it's a good series but somewhat going downhill in the 2nd half.. 7/10 |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |
| So they did end up together huh :D |
 |
| What an amazing ending, really enjoyed this manga. |
| Well this manga wasn't that great as I expected, though I really enjoyed the 2nd half. Very nice and satisfying ending, and here I thought Airi won't show up again. I'm glad they did meet again even it was just a coincidence. Kinda cheesy but still. Stop with that ntr bullshit since Airi was the better love interest to begin with. 8/10 |
| Woa, the last third was so much better than the anime. I had the anime as a 7/10 but reading this has made me lower its score to 6/10. As for this, a little cliché but overall I find it not that bad. 7/10. |
| That was a nice conclusion. It's nice to see Satoru happy like that :) |
 |
| Meh... the whole final arc was really anti-climatic. I swear this is a problem with most mangakas and screenwriters in Japan. They always mess up the endings, either making them anticlimatic or so open that will make you regret your decision to stay invested until the end. It's hard finding an anime or a manga with a satisfying ending that gives you closure in the end. That being said, I think the best thing and the highlight of this manga is the beautiful portrayed relation between Satoru and his mother. This is what I'll probably remember over years if I'm asked something about Boku ga Inai Machi. Well...making a transition from the Hollywood medium to Japanese about 2 years ago, I really start to miss the Hollywood happy ending stories. And NO this is not a happy ending, bittersweet being a more adequate word. |

| Just got done reading through the last 6 chapters of the manga...honestly I recommend you guys read it, its a hell of a lot better then the anime ending. |

| Contrary to several people in this thread, I actually think this series wrapped up a lot worse than the anime. I don't want to dedicate a lot of time to that though, since their may be people who haven't seen the anime adaptation yet but I will touch upon it briefly since it's most likely influences may enjoyment reading the manga. I wasn't a huge fan of how the final confrontation between Satoru & Yashiro went down in the anime but I have this detached appreciation for it due to how symbolic it was and how well it tied into the Spider's Thread Tale. The confrontation we got here wasn't much deeper than what the surface shown. Focusing more on concluding the thriller aspect than anything more poignant & thus made it a whole lot less interesting to read. & before I move on to just talking about the manga, the way the anime chose to adapt the manga as a whole, was the right call. Those who've seen it should know what I'm referring to. The chapter itself was great though. I really like this epilogue but my favorite aspect of it is the meaning behind the series title, "The Town Where Only I Am Missing." It's a really touching sentiment & perfect in the way it flips Kayo's earlier story while making perfect use of the series groundhog day-esque time travel element. About time travel, I don't think it was necessary to explain it, I think Justinchi's earlier post describes it's purpose well enough. It wasn't just a plot device as much as it was a part of the series message. The story of Boku dake ga Inai Machi started off really well. It managed to be instantly relate-able to me & just the concept of going back to your childhood to correct some wrong is something I'm sure strikes a chord with many (though hopefully, it has nothing to do with a murderer). The series is at its best when it's focused on the emotional connection between others, whether it's Sachiko being the best mom in the medium, Kayo's desperate situation or even just the belief & trust in his friend Kenya. Because of that, I find most of the content prior to the coma arc to be the most compelling of the series. That doesn't mean the thriller aspects with Yashiro are poorly done. As a mystery, it's pretty banal (I mean, the candy scene is slap you in the face silly taken at face value) but I do think Kei properly conveyed the intensity in the scene where Satoru finds out Yashiro's the killer. & to be honest, it's not like the coma arc is terrible or anything, I think it extends itself a bit too long & the conclusion to the Yashiro plot is lacking in much complexity or meaning for how long it takes but it's not awful or anything. Yashiro himself is slightly interesting & I liked that we got a big look into his backstory. The characters as a whole here are pretty good though few would make it into my favorites category. Most of them stop at just being likable but there isn't much reason for them to more than that I suppose. Before I wrap this up, the art itself was pretty charming. Hardly the best looking manga I've read (& I've read very little) but it can be rather expressive at points & had a great sense of framing scenes. The way it focused on snow & footprints at the end here for example was fantastic. Overall, I enjoyed my time with Boku dake ga Inai Machi. It was a quick read that held some pretty entertaining moments & resonated with me strongly in several scenes. Coming over from the anime, I definitely feel it's the inferior version but there was a joy in experiencing the source version, especially with all the differences between the two. The Town Where Only I Am Missing gets a 7/10. |

| It was one of the manga which are one of those that keep you reading from the start to the end. The concept itself was great and executed really well. There were interesting twists and less interesting ones, but it still had you entangled and made you want to 'keep reading'. This sadly ended when it became too predictable who is the culprit. The whole trading point of the manga was 'mystery'. And it was too obvious like in the middle of the manga who it was already. I actually was expecting another twist to come until the very end... and sadly for me the manga just ended like that by the end :( It's another of those series where you enjoyed the premise and then it failed to live up to your expectations. It's still a decent manga, and I rated it 8/10, which is still very good. It's a bit biased on how short the manga is, since I tend to rate the manga on the amount of chapters it actually could be concluded where lower amount of chapters is actually show of a experience to wrap story up without needless filling. And since it didn't have too many loop holes at the same time - it was decent in that aspect. It's also an enjoyable read and is certainly worth the time considering you can finish reading it in just one day easily :) |
| Strong start, went downhill. The major letdown for me is it is never showed or at least 'rationalized' why Satorou could time lapse/rerun. It's basically there just to serve the plot. Just when I thought it couln't get any worse, here comes the amnesia plot device. I dislike it. Too convenience. In my opinion, it's a sign of weak writing. Had to drag myself to finish it there. 5/10 wouldnt touch the anime adaptation. |
| i wish the anime took the manga path instead of rushing it anyway a very good manga really touching some similarity to my personal life now i feel complete :D |
| AIRI!!! wew boy it had me for a few moments there, it really had me. I thought, however ephemerally, Airi was going to be relegated to a distant, fading memory. FINAL SCENE SAVED THIS SERIES. AIRI IS MY QUEEN. |

| Really good ending, everything is fixed and we get that Airi's glimpse just like in the anime, but overall I found the ending to be better than the anime original's one I like that it didn't take place in the hospital until the end. |
