I remember reading this back in the day when online Manga was just taking off. To this day it is still one of my all time favorites. This story deals with many heartbreaking issues that are well executed. I'm sure that you will enjoy this too.

I thought this was an incredible manga.  I come back and read it about every two years and I learn things from it each time.  It's one of those stories that skillfully describes the best and the worst of the human condition.  The atmosphere of gentle melancholy that pervades the entire story is extremely well done by the mangaka.  I think the thing that touched me the most was Ai's drawings.  They were really the icing on the cake.  A definite ten out of ten.

I actually cried.   This was so beautifull!

A really sad yet hopeful story.  It was a good read and well done. Kudos to the translators as well.

 

One thing I also liked was how the "childish" drawings by Ai were so skillfully made.  :D

the first manga i ever completed, i cried i wont lie.. hopefully i wont on my second time through xD

dammit Nyu, this was truly a great manga and had a good finale .... and I almost cry of sadness (I feel more bad for not crying actually) T.T

It's like a side story from Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou or Saikano. So good! Funny how this mangaka mostly have been doing hentai...

I didn't cry... even though I wanted to. Great manga, 10/10

These aren't tears, it is raining.. TT_TT

I belive that the fact that it has been known from the beggining that both of them were faced with death, either a slow and agonizing one or one in which one just withers is what makes this a masterpiece.
If the constant fear of death wasn't ever present this wouldn't evoke so much passion, eagerness and compassion from the readers as a whole. That love could sprout and continue to exist even in the presence of death, which is everybit not romantic from the moment that it negates ones hope for a good future, is itself the accomplishiment of life. That death does not ends but instead bring forth something new is what makes this so good. And only someone who can write masterfuly can merge this dicothomy of life and death together into one and make it not sound something cheap, mundane at best. Truly it might be a bit hard to read if you're not prepared or used to the slow and sometimes even annoying pace of time but the end is very much worth it.
this magna is one of the best o have ever read, it is so nice and its just perfect
its so great but the ending was sad :'(
Can't really get into this one, read up to chapter 11 but couldn't get the feel for it at all, not sure what I disliked, it's probably that Ikuru and Ai's relationship resembled that of brother and sister in my eyes, wasn't too keen of Ikuru or the whole human evolution thing either, just served to confused me.

It's sad since everyone that commented loved it so much. :(
=_(

nothing wrong with tears for this one, such a good read
Nothing wrong in crying.. even for a man.
Cried THREE times. THREE. What the hell is wrong with me. THREE,
I remember reading this years ago. Let's just say that the tragedy tag is well deserved. T_T
This is my all time favorite ecchi romance manga ;_; pure love and emotionally heartbreaking that enhance the beauty in living. Definitely recommended!
Thanks KidCongo for uploading =D
very sad but definitely worth reading.
Amazingly beautiful and tragic all at once. I love this story, it makes me feel alive. Be warned though, its a tear jerker :'(
oh my... this is a true masterpiece, the ending was heartbreaking, i loved it D:
