Takuma is a boy who was born with a cardiovascular disease, his life expectancy is less than 20 years. Since he was a child, he has had a close relationship with his cardiologist's daughter, Mayu, whom he promised to marry when he turned 20 years old. However, as time passes, Takuma becomes increasingly confused about whether he should fulfill his promise knowing about his fate.
Let me warn you that it is a very dramatic manga, especially because it deals with issues related to life and death, but, in fact, it could be much more dramatic than it actually is. Despite its sad theme, the narrative's humor is very good, I had a lot of fun even though it's a story from almost 20 years ago. An observation that needs to be made in relation to this manga is precisely because it deals with problematic themes in a non-ideal way, I chose to ignore moments like these, after all, as it was written years ago in Japan it is not to be expected a ultra-awareness of problematic topics. Changing the subject, I really liked the characters, without exception, they all have an incredible presence and the absence of any of them is missed. Regarding the ending, well, it broke me in half, I'm torn apart, if the objective of this story was to make me die from crying, they managed it very well, and it wasn't just at the end, I found myself crying many times, especially in Kou's part. I just wish Mayu and Takuma could have a movie romance like they always dreamed of, but we all know that's not a realistic reality. For at least a week I found myself thinking randomly during the day about this manga, its characters, its ending, etc. I was definitely marked by it, and I'm sad that I hadn't read it sooner.
Note: I wrote this while I was almost asleep, sorry if it doesn't make sense.
