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
Makoto Shinkai is a Japanese film director, animator, and writer. A native of the Nagano prefecture in Japan, he studied Japanese literature at Chuo University. He traces his passion for creation to the manga, anime, and novels he was exposed to while in middle school. Considered one of the best animators in the world today, he is often called the next-Miyazaki. Shinkai developed his abilities as a video game designer for FalCom, where he worked on the cult-classic role-playing game YS. Shinkai is unique as an animator as he cut his teeth by producing almost all elements many of his works - from animation to music composition to voice acting. He has won numerous awards: 12th DoGA CG Animation Award; 1st New Tokyo International Animation FestivalGrand Prize; 7th Kobe Animation Prize; 6th Japanese Media Art; Awardfor Digital Media; 34th Nebula Award(World Con); 59th Mainichi Films Animation Prize; 2007 Asia Pacific Film Award; and theLancia Platinum Grand Prize (Italy).
