This really hit close to home, as i lost someone (not to death) and dream about them and being together again once more. It made me cry really hard, the kind where you can feel it in your heart.
the mangaka does a wonderful job of mixing such an intense and heavy topic such as suicide with light and fluffy moments, like torao getting used to the future, getting mad when the first hikaru model messes up, and also in the artwork, which is beautiful. Airy and bright are words that come to mind.
SPOILER
the ending i think sums the story up in a melancholy yet sweet way. hikaru, being a robot, waits hundreds of years alone for torao, but as a robot of course, has no real concept of time relative to human wants and needs and emotions. the last scene really make you cry in a happy way.
I've read a lot of manga, but this has got to be the one that i can say is the best.
at first, the artstyle bothered me and I was kinda skimming the first few chapters but after that it pulled me in and i was obbsessed. now i think the artwork fits with the intense emotional aspects and storylines of the story. (SPOILER) this is esp true when during team winters arc when everyone except aramaki, which i bawled my eyes out. I also seriously bawled uncontrollably during the flashback arc when ryou and crew where back at the school and during the final test when all their classmates start dying off. It was made more powerful if you listen to the music that plays during their tests (esp "ave maria" which is beautiful and contrasts nicely with the horriffic violence and tragedy), and also when aramakis dogs die from the mushrooms. (END SPOILER) I EXTREMELY recomend you read this, and don't letg the artwork turn you off. I'm so anxious for the next update i think im gonna die!!
