You grow up (mentally) alongside the characters and it´s very easy to feel identified with many of the situations as they are something that really could happen in real life and the characters acts just as real people would act, to the point where I didn´t just considered them as fictional but real people.
Other note worthy point is that feelings are really greatly coveyed through an art that although may not seem extremely detailed does its job perfectly. It´s a story that start slow but get better with time as it gets more depth and you get to know the characters and although it has its ups and downs it maneges to mantein a good pacing
Finally, the end of the story was just perfect. I don´t ussualy cry with mangas but I was a crybaby at the end of this one. It gives a feeling of fullfilment that leaves you with a good after taste and it is like a blow of fresh air compared to the crappy endings I´ve been reading lately (even in mangas with actually good stories).
I am not a native english speaker, so sorry if the review was poorly written. I hope you will enjoy the manga
