The Garden of Words by Makoto Shinkai - 196 pages
Akizuki plays hooky every first period of a rainy school day. He goes to the park and draws possible designs for shoes. That is how he meets the mysterious woman who also plays hooky from work on rainy days to drink beer and chocolate in the park. A connection is made between the two when she quotes a poem to him as she leaves the first day. Will Akuzuki figure out the meaning before it's too late?
I picked this up as I was looking for something to read on my lunch break. I didn't realize I would actually finish it on break. It's a very quick read with sparse text and conversation between the characters. It was an interesting story. I kind of wish there was a sequel to see how their meetings changed their lives in the future rather than just ending once they figure out who each other is.
