It wasn't until the third page after turning the page that the title of the short story was revealed:

Five centimeters per second. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's five centimeters per second in the healing system.

The first page of the manga is a one-page composition, with a staggered gentle slope, traffic lights and trains, and cherry blossom trees on the side of the road, and cherry blossom petals falling in mid-air in early spring.

This is a work that catches people's attention with just one page, and the exquisite painting skills and skillful use of color can make the content that the author wants to express in an instant.

Yes, this work has color. And the first word of five centimeters per second is not a color cartoon in the general sense, strictly speaking, this is a watercolor cartoon, and it tests the original author's ability to use color.

This is an attempt made by Shizune Miyahara a very early on, and the color expression of watercolor is extremely strong, which is superior to ordinary expressive manga, but it also has its own shortcomings, such as not being suitable for frequent screen cutting.

So in this five-centimeter-per-second section, large single pages and pages with only two compartments per page abound.

So in terms of composition, it's somewhat close to her and her cat's style before, and even more so.

In order to do a good storyboard, Miyahara Jing wasted brain cells.

Watercolor is not suitable for the manga format, but why did Miyahara go to great lengths to compose the images? Quite simply, because of the use of watercolor's colorful variations and unique forms of expression, you can thoroughly render the emotions you want to express in this work from beginning to end.

"Now, it's said to be five centimeters per second?"

"What?"

"The speed at which cherry blossom petals fall, the restraint is five centimeters per second."

"I know a lot about reason."

"Look, doesn't it feel like it's snowing?"

This is the dialogue that appears on this page.

The train, the street scene, the cherry blossoms, the staggered teenagers and girls, the first scene of the story of five centimeters per second Sakura copy begins.

The work depicts the feelings between teenagers and girls, but it is carried out in the form of interpolation.

What is happening and the memories of the protagonist are interspersed.

How the hero and heroine meet and like each other is not described at the beginning of the story.

At the beginning of the story, the male protagonist Takaki Tono reads a letter from the heroine Akiri Shinohara in a middle school classroom.

They have been separated for many years, carefully expressing their thoughts about each other in thin paper and lines of text, and the fear that the other party will forget their worries.

Although the communication between the two continued, some emotions could not be expressed on letterhead, so now, after a year of separation, Takaki had the idea of wanting to see Mingli.

So they agreed to meet each other, March 4.

Although the distance between the two people is not that can be reached by one train.

But Kiki still got on the evening train.

It's just a tram ride, even though it's a bit far away.

In the first act of the work, there is very little dialogue in the general sense, and the communication between the two protagonists and the two protagonists to the reader is entirely through letters.

When I was in elementary school, two people transferred to the same class on the same day, which was the meeting and beginning of the story, and then a mood called liking sprouted between the two people, and then later, Mingli transferred to another school, but the feeling of liking continued, and it continues.

That's why Guishu stepped on the train to the distance with strangeness, anticipation, apprehension and some fear.

Snowflakes were falling on the outside of the train, and the winter evening had a smell that seemed to make people freeze, and the snow scene slowly blurred people's vision, and the road ahead became unclear.

The station where the transfer was made was crowded with people who wanted to go home, and everyone's shoes were stained with snow that had melted from the temperature.

The air is filled with the smell of a snowy city, and it feels cold.

It's about to be seen, but the wait seems to be slowly delaying.

Because of the snow, the train on which Kiki was riding was delayed again and again, and his uneasy mood began to erode him.

"After walking a little further than Omiya Station, there were suddenly fewer buildings in the scenery in front of me......"

In the delay of the train, Guishu's anxiety became more and more serious, a junior high school student, across a distance of hundreds of kilometers, to meet a person who may not be able to see, and the appearance of the memory has become a little blurred, he can only uphold the belief is that one thought.

"Let's go back......" During this journey, has Guishu ever had such an emotion? No one but himself will know, but the train moving forward in the middle of the night, the empty carriage with few passengers, the melancholy eyes of Guishu looking out of the car, the lonely lights in the wilderness, whether it is a whistle sounding, the flashing signals of entering and leaving the station, and the snow falling at the speed of cherry blossoms in the sky, can make the reader clearly feel what kind of mood he is in at this time.

In the end, he did not change the direction of his exercise, he wanted to pass on that small but tangible thought to the person to whom he should have been transmitted.

In such a night and snow, is Mingli still waiting for him?

Kiki didn't know, but he knew that he had to go to the agreed place.

What was waiting for him may be gone, or it may be the end of the song, but at this moment, he found that his heart was longing for that little happiness.

Now, he wants to get that happiness into his hands.

The train, once again, is late.

Kiki was still apprehensive, but he had found something more important than apprehension.

This kind of scene without a single line, tossing and turning alone on different trains, can make the characters' feelings overflow the whole picture.

However, the silence lasted longer and longer, and he was the only one left in the carriage.

The person in your heart, will get closer and closer as the train approaches? Or will it get farther and farther away over time?

The confidence that had just been strengthened was shaken by the passage of time.

"The distance between the stations has become unbelievably far."

"The train stops for an unbelievably long time."

Guishu looked at the watch on his left hand again and again, confirming the time displayed on it, and what he wanted to know most at this moment was probably whether Mingli was still waiting for him in that place.

"The snow that I had never seen outside the window and the time that passed slowly, coupled with the dull pain of fasting, added to the uneasiness in my heart......"

"The agreed time has passed, and Mingli has become very uneasy now."

"Anyway, now I can only slowly move towards the station where Mingli is waiting for me."

Omiya, Sano, Iwafune, Ohirashita, Nogi, Furukawa, Kurithashi, until Tochigi.

The train took Kiki to this last stop, but was Akari still there waiting for him?

It's a pity that this is the end of this story. (To be continued.) )
