So, that's my review of Josee to Tora to Sakana-tachi (sorry for my bad english)
I won't talk about the story, that's my opinion about the manga
Let's go!
In my opinion this manga is really good, this can move you, the two main characters have their each problems, one wants to go Mexico to study and one have difficults in the legs, and it's very good how they meet each other and how do they get to know each other and how the secundary characters interact with the main characters. The art is good and beautiful, the art also can show to us the emotions of the ... characters and how it can be a good example of a manga that really need to have a movie.
So, my score for this manga is 9/10, because it moves me and makes me want so much watch the film.

It is a very short review, since it is a very short work, and the objective is to try to bring more reasons for interested people to bring more, that is, spoilers. I'll skim over a sentence or two, but nothing will get in the way of your further reading.

Commenting on Josee should always start by stating the obvious. There's nothing special here, it's a short, simple, melancholy novel that barely matches the standard of any cheap novel in its chapters.
This is a type of manga where the opinion of those who are there is never very divided, after all, everything is narrated in ... a brief way, and that does not avoid the pattern that we see directly in the novels. And that's the point. Josee manages to be interesting because it is just another work that narrates sad events, followed by much love and happiness for the characters. It is a typical manga for those who want a very simple romance narrative, but great in its way of being.
Josee to Tora talks about dreams, about a shy girl, insecure, limited by her disability, always being kept at home never, but with love for art and all that a maritime environment has to offer, even seen it.

It is about someone who has infinite desires and curiosities about the unknown, a dream to follow, but who feels unable to fulfill it because “not being able to climb the steps of a ladder”, but who finds himself saved by someone else.

Josee to Tora's brief narrative always focuses on making his concept of difficulties explicit. We all have dreams, but we feel incapable of realizing them for whatever reason, and that inevitably, both protagonists stumble, and think about giving up, which they just don't do because they have each other as motivation.
Josee is simple, cliché, and it sends a message that we've already gotten married to watching, but even so, the standardly melancholic narrative holds you, where you quickly empathize with the characters' situation, and hope for the best in the end.
It's a novel where all the time it chooses to show the melancholy of the characters, at the same time it presents how they run away from it only by deepening their relationship.

I actually absurdly recommend this manga, since I hope you don't expect anything revolutionary, but the abuse of the simple, but in such an interesting and brief way.
