Nao- I get that there are people who are naive and shy etc etc but the number of times she almost asked Kakeru what was troubling him- but didn't ask in the end as well as her "he loves me-he loves me not" was very irritating -_. The explanation to the time traveling was confusing as if the author wanted to make it sound very scientific. Does approach the topic of suicide from a different angle- mainly how OTHERS deal with a loved ones suicide (Although i respectfully disagree with another reviewers comment that this manga did the theme of depression right.my take is that the depression was not the main issue here- it was the unexpected death of a loved one the "how could we-the closest to him- could have missed the signs of depression and suicidal tendencies) Shows solid friendship, the kind you reminiscence of your school days This is how you do emotional school-life manga right (no insta smut here.in fact no smut!) This is a wonderful manga! I don't want to repeat what most people have mentioned before so I'll keep my review short and simple Yes, the group is able to change the future and It also felt much more lifelike that the series did not culminate with Kakeru being ultimately cured. It felt so real that Kakeru kept having setbacks, that his friends had to strive so fervently for Kakeru to be able to realize small improvements. This series will stick with me because of how grounded and sensible Kakeru's struggle with his mental health felt. +Sadness, ruminating regret, and familial depression are fortunately handled in a much more sensitive and measured manner than the time travel mechanism, which is obviously much better than if vice versa were the case. It seemed like she was also in a bad mental place. The series could have also fleshed out Ueda a little bit more. Kakeru and Naho could have used a few more character quirks. (Also, see Netflix's Dark for another example of poorly handled time travel exposition that distracts and weighs down the story with nonsense.) They can just be confused and accept that miracles are happening. If you are working on a time travel story in which the science of the time travel is not directly related to the plot, please, your characters don't need to actually cite physics technobabble.

Guessing correctly that there was a black hole in the Bermuda triangle was so hokey that it momentarily jarred me out of a really moving part of the story.
