| I really love this manga!! I wish they'd have at least met again in the ending, but it was still good! Leaves you to draw your own conclusion! |

| I really loved the manga. Yumeka Sumomo managed to change the plot a bit that way, that it became so amazing and heart-breaking and beautiful. All their feelings, emotions, expressions - she conveyed them all perfectly. I really loved how she ended manga, she showed a hope for them to remember. And it really made me cry so much, when she saw that Noboru was going to come rescue her. It just shows how far can love go and how powerful it is "To the 25-year old Noboru-kun. This is the 16-year old Mikako. Noboru.. I love you, Noboru." This part so got me. |

| I rewatched the anime after reading the manga, and in my honest opinion, the manga is way better than the anime ! I have the feeling the anime is rushed... everything go fast, and there is just not enough details. In the manga, you see much deeper feelings, and the add of new characters is really great and useful. The distant relationship impact is more detailed in the manga too. The character design is also better in the manga. Moreover, I prefered the ending in the manga... When she saw the name on the board, it was so intense ! And you are more convinced that they will meet again. In conclusion, the anime is just nice while the manga is a timeless masterpiece. |
| Interesting is also that when he comes there eg in 8 years she will be older also. But anyway since the mision failure also probably took 8 years to report they will probably be 8 years older still? But since he got her messege that she sended before fight and he got it a litl more then when he enlisted chances are there is somhow rescue mission been started emidiatly after they jumped? Since mission failure should take 8 years to confirm so they would actualy waited 16 years to get rescued? Interesting manga defenetly i like the fact that he is coming to get her too :D |

| I loved the manga, the ending was just awesome, I just wish I can see them seeing each other again |

| Amazing manga. Suddenly a favorite. I watched 5 cm/s and liked the style. Hoshi no Koe was recommended to me. I watched the OVA, but... I honestly didn't like it. It was so fast, so rushed, I didn't like the characters' designs, etc. But, the story was okay. When I saw the manga of it, I decided to give it a try. It was so worth it. The manga is so much better, everything on it is so well done. The characters are way better, the story itself is so touching, so beautiful... a masterpiece. I could feel the love and pain, different from the animated version. |
 |
| @_@ I want to know what's going to happen after the ending. |
| So happy about the ending, so so happy. |
 |
| In my opinion, the manga is way better than the anime. The ending was kinda sweet too. |
| Glad I read it, I personally prefer happy endings over sad and open ones, and the last few pages hint at the former. I only wish the OVA was longer and had this ending. A touching story, gave it a 9/10. |
| Yumeka Sumomo, can you please stop creating adorable guys? I feel weird loving her boys so much. fsdhfdyfgdfygd ;A; I feel a bit incomplete, like I missed something to close the feeling I got reading it, but anyway, overall this was great as always! 9/10. |
| i loved this manga, it really gets me emotional! |
| they need to remake the " Hoshi no koe"'s OVA based on this manga into a movie !!! |

 |
| Did anyone cry? (I didn't but my heart stirred ;_;) Makoto Shinkai + Sahara Mizu/Yumeka Sumomo is a great combination |

| Very touching ending. :') |
 |
| The ending, yeah ** I lost hope with the anime, the manga at least give you a chance :) Definitely a 9/10 |
| Damn, that was so short and yet so beautiful. It made me feel really sad, but the ending was nice. There was hope left. |

If i remember correctly the ship has faster communication speed but it was only for important messages between the fleet and control |

If i remember correctly the ship has faster communication speed but it was only for important messages between the fleet and control yeah, that was implied by a line mikako said early on in the manga. its also confirmed in which noboru gets her message 8 years later as hes about to leave on the rescue expedition, it pretty much implies that command had FTL communication, maybe even a small vessel they used to warp back to earth, anyway all in all, this was a fantastic manga, it took the concept of the movie and improved on it and added a lot of great extra stuff between the 2 main characters, and all the side characters added were simply fantastic, and really helped the mood of the story. the parallels between noboru on earth and takaki from 5cm per second were very apparent towards the end of the manga. the art was also simply great, and the ending was heartwarming. easy 10/10 |
 |
| it's safe to assume that they'll meet again, he'll be one of the crews for search and rescue operation, cause they're taking/recruiting volunteers for it, seeing the fact that he'll not age also when he embarks on this mission...so its a big possibility that it will end in a happy ending... "Love conquers all..." just sharing my thoughts :) |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |
| A wonderful, wonderful ending. Definitely liked this more than the manga. I give this a 7/10. |

| definitely better than anime, more detailed and the art was great DeadZeroSource said: it's safe to assume that they'll meet again, he'll be one of the crews for search and rescue operation, cause they're taking/recruiting volunteers for it, seeing the fact that he'll not age also when he embarks on this mission...so its a big possibility that it will end in a happy ending... i hope so XD 7/10 |
| Noticeably better than the anime OVA, imo. I like the extra detail the manga has that the OVA doesn't. |

AlexSadist-sama said: In my opinion, the manga is way better than the anime. The ending was kinda sweet too. Exactly. Bigger focus on development for the story and their romance, this really was just a more touching experience, and the ending left at a much more conclusive and gratifying note versus the movie. :) 9/10 |
 |
| Storywise, I liked it better than the anime because of the happy-ish ending. Honestly, it was quite a surprise after all the depressing endings of Shinkai Makoto. 8/10 |
| your waifu is shit |
| hey! just finished the manga, really good character development compared to the anime. bittersweet open ending which i really hate T.T but i noticed something when noboru was talking to his friend, his friend said something about them sending crap ships and no good crew. That just solidifies me into believing he wont get there safely :/ GOD I HATE THIS FEELING T.T |
| I'm so fucking glad they got to meet each other in the end. I was damn scared of the fact that Mikako might've died and Noboru gave up on her and moved on. |
 |
| I wish this manga had about twice the chapters to flesh things out more, as it is a solid job was done with the mere 10 chapters given. Solid 8/10 for me, ending is a hopeful one that they'll meet again, never saw the anime adaptation and sounds like that's a good thing... |
 |
| Just like I said, too fast and nothing much happened. |
