Quick Post--Can't Stop the Tears

So...I just finished rereading a manga titled Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan. I had forgotten about this manga but recently rediscovered it. Tears were forcing themselves out of my ducts continuously.

It's a tragedy tagged series but still wonderful and beautiful. It allows one to appreciate life, allows one to understand the misunderstandings of convicts, and allows us to realize the precious value of forgiveness. It really struct me how the (somewhat) paradox of the two characters was explained in the beginning by Miss Mutou Jirou (the female lead)--how she is free despite her ill mentality about people around her compared to him who is behind bars wanting forgiveness. This story speaks a lot and there are many layers to it. A wonderful and meaningful read. The development of the characters was very heartwarming. They would have been perfect together. It is most deserving of tears.

Someday, I'll watch the film drama adaptation, Maundy Thursday and hopefully a translated text of the novel it is adapted from.
