I assume this is a manga adaptation of the movie, and therefore just as silly and nonsensical?

It is a manga adaptation of the movie, however the characters' feelings are put into words, rather than relying on music and images like the movie does. The last chapter is not present in the movie, too.

Manga is complementary to the movie. Characters are more fleshed out (apart from Akari, whose presence remains more or less nonexistent), and "Poem of sky and sea", that focuses on Kanae and now serves as coda, is completely new content. Personally i loved all versions (including light novel, which is really crappy written, or it just translates that way), but if someone didn't like the motion picture, manga won't sway their opinion.

He got cucked at the end, what a terrible manga

 

[DracoSafarius]

Uh oh I see that tragedy tag and @ShinitaiKoroshitekure 's comment makes me mark this as gonna have to pass

Edit: Against my better judgment I watched the movie and read the extra manga stuff and I gotta say I like it even less now. Def agree with Shinitai on this, this story was awful

Bittersweet love my ass, this story is just plain dreadful. At least the manga is better and more fleshed out than the light novel and the anime, AND I can actually go through Takaki’s monologue without constantly bashing my head against the walls. Still an enjoyable read though.

Anyone else just feel empty after reading this.......

way too real

 

[thomas_l_ls]

i hate this MANGA but the story is way too good, i hate the sad ending too

I did not see the movie or read the novel. I was enjoying this very much but did not check the chapter count and the ending caught me off guard. Like that’s it? It just flipping ends? It feels so incomplete and my heart has serious blue balls right now. I’m still figuring out if I should be mad about this or if it’s genius writing.
