While reading the manga, it occurred to me that people who haven't experienced much in life won't be bale to appreciate the imperfection (yet perfect in the sense they are able to become aware and accept it). But, you put it in a beautiful way :)
thanks, i am glad that you enjoyed this work, its the kind that deserves a re read ^^
I loved this. And the way you put it was exactly what I was thinking but worded waaay better. I was a lot like Mirai and similar things had happened to me too. I was taken advantage of and abused because I chose to believe in the person I loved. I loved them fully and wholeheartedly, getting upset with anyone who said anything bad about them. So this was like rewatching my naïveté play out all over again and it really really hit home. Everyone in comments saying that Mirai wasn’t an idiot clearly hasn’t experienced many things in life or simply can’t find it in them to understand him. This was undoubtedly a misunderstood masterpiece.
*I meant to say anyone who thought Mirai WAS an idiot clearly hasn’t experienced many things in life or simply can’t find it in them to understand him.
this is such a lucid, introspective, nostalgic, beautiful, cruel and moody slice of life, the characters are well fleshed out, flawed and lovable, but despite being stunning i think its a manga that can be better enjoyed once the reader has put behind their youthful yet naive idealism, and have become more aware that life and people are never good or bad, its so much complex and richer than that. this masterpiece is a bitter sweet tale of love, self discovery and coming of age that deserves to be re read once you learn to accept that sometimes life chip away little pieces of you, but in exchange you gain so much more.
