nobile's manga / #heartwarming(6)

This is such a beautiful story, slow-paced but it leaves you feeling like every moment matters. Inspiring message, a bit heartbreaking on the second half but truly fulfilling ending. Beautiful.

Sweet story about a girl who fell for a guy that only had swimming in his mind, and how she learned to enjoy it too.

Arikawa and Misaki's story continues, this time Misaki meets Arikawa's family. Sequel to http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/hana_no_mizo_shiru/

Main story: Serious Class Rep wsrms up to the seemingly frivolous matchmaking Modern Japanese teacher. Other story: Highly optimistic boy likes to help out at a kindergarten, where he is loved by students and respected by teachers alike. The second story was sweet and heartwarming, it would've been nice to see him once he was done with his studies. I feel a bit conflicted about the main story, I really didn't like Sensei and what he did, but I can understand the difficult position he was in, he probably didn't have much of a choice on how to handle things adequately. Meanwhile, I REALLY feel bad for Masao, he was straightforward, honest, and kind [to a fault]; I wish his love hadn't been unrequited, and that at the very least the girl he liked didn't take his existence as merely a step above a nameless background character.

Two very unlikely friends learn more about each other [and themselves] as they're going on a movie-location pilgrimage. Sequel: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kimi_to_natsu_no_naka/
