5 Centimeters Per Second by Makoto Shinkai

5 Centimeters per Second by Makoto Shinkai - 468 pages

Tohno and Araki become friends in middle school.  They are inseparable until Araki has to move away just before high school.  Both harbor feelings for each other and promise they will stay in touch.  Then Tohno moves to a small island where fellow classmate Sumida falls in love with him.  But Tohno is unable to move on from his feelings from Araki even though they have long lost touch.  Will any of them ever find their place in the world?

I've been wanting to read this manga for a while. Unfortunately, I did not care for it much.  It was pretty depressing with very most of the characters stuck in the past and unable to face their futures.
