5 Centimeters Per Second (Collector's Edition) by Makoto Shinkai

ONE MORE TIME.

Ever had trouble letting go of your love? A stunning official comics adaptation that manages to add new layers of emotion and intimacy to one of director Makoto Shinkai's (Your Name, Weathering with You, Suzume) defining works--finally available in gorgeous hardcover

W]hat this version has over the film--more depth. The format just allows for it, and Shinkai and Seike take advantage of that. So, if you're a fan of the film, there are plenty of reasons to pick this version up. If you've never seen the film, I highly recommend it. --ComicAttack

Yukiko Seike's adaptation acquits itself on all points. More than acquits itself, actually. Because as good as Shinkai's>5 Centimeters is (and it is good), Seike's>5 Centimeters is better. Roundly satisfying. --Good Ok Bad

History does not tend to smile on manga adaptations of anime properties. It is nothing short of a miracle that>5 Centimeters per Second is>one of the best Japanese comics I have ever read. Seike's take on the story is more human--a stunning feat considering the strong emotional punch of Shinkai's original film. --Ani-Gamers

There are a number of things I expect from a romance manga, occasionally even things that change who I think I am. But I was genuinely shocked to find something in>5 Centimeters per Second that no other romance anime or manga has ever had. Good relationship advice. --The Anime Harvest
