Well... It's been such an emotional trip. It's hard for me to explain in words what this manga made me feel. It came in the right moment of my life, and it helped me to realize things about life itself.
The story, as you may have read in the summary, is about two childs who're immortal. The author uses this concept, to talk about life cycles. And how everything in this world is perfect the way it is, and immortality it's not as utopic as it may seem.
It's a story filled with strong emotions that had reached my heart.
It's about accepting growing up, and finally, perishing as a part of life itself. You don't have to be afraid of dying, or growing up; it's something natural, that doesn't need to be changed. The beauty of life resides in its ephemeral nature. If we had all the time in the world, we wouldn't appreciate things the way they deserve to be. We weren't made for living ethernal lives.
You have to live every moment fully: spend your time with your loved ones, enjoying the things you like,and appreciate those moments, because they will relentlessly end one day. And knowing that, you can appreciate better the time with your family, your pets, or your time in this life, because it's ephemeral, and that's what makes us enjoy that time better.
Go give your mother or your father a hug, spend your time with them; give love to your pets, your girlfriend or boyfriend, because they will not be in this world forever, and neither will you.
When a new life borns, is something beautiful,this manga portrayes that. And it made me see it that way.
It's somewhat an optimistic way of thinking, that it's not how I usually think: but it managed to convey those emotions to me: that's why I gave this manga such a high score. Not because its story itself, or the characters: it's because the message it evokes.
There might be things I'm forgetting right now (I read this some time ago, but because of the absence of reviews, I wanted to make one). If you're someone who dreams with an ethernal life, you fear death or growing up, this might be the story for you.
Thank you for reading, and have a good day.
