I don't have the slightest idea why i kept overlooking this manga before. Probably it was because of the cover.... it had this aura of seriousness around it and i wasn't really in the mood for all that.
WELL, my fellow people-with-the-same-thinking
Do not be tricked by it. Because little did i know that this manga i picked up just out of curiosity, would be a masterpiece.
Guys, you don't know what's going on behind the scenes of this sane looking review. Im actually pacing about with excitement, because that's how much this story has got to me.
Well, the friendship-forever tag has been the underliner in a ton of manga and anime, but the way sekamichi no apollon brought it out is amazing. It genuinely made me smile and laugh out loud throughout the story, and frankly speaking, it made a brick wall like me, cry too.
I previously mentioned i wasnt ready for serious and sad shit, but this was different. I got attached to it and my emotions went with the flow because it all felt real.
The chacters, oh my god.... they are what made this story into what it is. There weren't any incosistencies or anything of that sort and everyone one had an important role in the story, in some way or the other. They were down to eath, with feelings of joy, insecurity, strength, envy, love, lonliness and the most important of all, passion.
Well, i may have said i kept looking away from this because of the cover art, but man apart from that, it is a beauty. The art style works with the story so well, i found myself staring at a single page. And oh god were they beautiful. What can i say, the art didn't potray music but i dont how to deliver this, um it could make you feel the music. I can safely say, sekamichi apollon may not have been sekamichi apollon if not for the art.
Well if i keep going, ill keep going on for ever. But its up to you. All ican say is this manga was beautiful and was an incredible experience for me. You may think im kinda stupid for giving a whole lot of 10-s but im just going with instict and this is what my insticts told.
Once again, DON't BE DECIEVED by the cover. Go read it. Now.
