[Summary by: Love_Blossom]
Harumi has been in the hospital practically her whole life because she has cancer. She finds out she only has a few months to live and wants to do dangerous thing. Masato just got hospitalized today. He meets Harumi and they talk about how life is so short. Then he holds out his hand and says, "Lets go to the sea!" And so, for the few days they have to live, they enjoy it to their fullest...
Review:
This story revolves around Harumi and Masato who are going to inevitably die before they should. The things that happen in this manga are pretty crazy and a bit unrealistic although it makes the story better. What stops this from being those typical shoujo is that the characters have some deph. Despite their tough exterior, all they want to do is live; unlike most people they've got days to live out a lifetime. I guess even though they're both young, they have to grow up quickly and face the concept of death but the characters handle it well.
It's really touching and teaches us that we shouldn't waste our time because life is short. If you avoid tragedy, just give it a go anyways, you won't regret it.
More Info:
This manga is actually based on a J-movie which is also called Heaven's Door (which is based on a German movie name Knockin' on Heaven's Door). I've read some posts about this movie and it's seems more in depth; I'll consider watching it later.
Well here's the trailer:
Oh, I rather liked Heaven's Door. I found it quite realistic. I wouldn't be surprised if things like this happened. Think about it like this, if you were dying, would you want to waste away in a hospital room? No way! You'd want to go and enjoy every last bit of life you have left. Some people are desperate enough to take big chances.
ReplyDeleteGreat review! I never knew there was a movie. I'm unmotivated to watch movies and dramas, haha.
Thank you sooo much for showing this manga!!! I cried in the end. It was an obvious development except for the robbery part which really surprised me, however, gahh I wish the two ambulance guys or the shopkeeeper would come in the end and like cry and smile with her. Anyways, lovem your manga reviews :). I think you quit making them, but thank you anyways c:
