Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (half assed review / no spoilers)
Posted at 6:07 PM
"Love is truly the great manifesto; the urge to be, to count for something, and, if death must come, to die valiantly, with acclamation- in short, to remain a memory."Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso really lived up to the quote above, a quote I discovered from reading All the Bright Places. I found it utterly moving, beautiful, and magnificent. I feel like the compelling execution of the characters' emotions and experiences were so palpable. I felt every inch of it deep down.

I loved Kaori. So much. She keeps asking Kousei if he'll forget and that's how I was reminded of the quote. It's so repetitive that it's stamped into my head. I made her my lock and home screen wallpaper because she's absolutely stunning, beautiful inside and out.
I can't even continue with this post and my appreciation for her. From beginning to end, it felt like a contemporary teenage romance novel, especially ones about a character having a mental or physical defect.
I didn't cry much. I mean, I teared up here and there, but no real tears rolled, I don't know why… but god, if my cardiac muscles didn't feel like collapsing here and again.
Someone added a TFIOS quote :O
