  キュッとなった
  It made me cringe
  This review contains spoilers. 自転車二人乗りと雨宿り、ヘアピンの秘密。そんなささやかな日常の思い出とはるか彼方何万光年先の巨大プロジェクトの対比が圧巻です。ラストのリストに名前を見つけるシーンは本当に涙があふれてきました。

  This review contains spoilers. The secret of two people riding a bicycle, sheltering from the rain, and hairpins. The contrast between such small memories of everyday life and a huge project tens of thousands of light years far away is impressive. The scene where I found a name on the last list really filled me with tears.

  アニメもいいが、こちらもいい！
  Anime is good, but so is this one!
  随分と前にアニメ版を視聴しましたが当時ショートの割には内容共に印象に残る作品でした。言わずと知れた新海誠監督の初劇場公開作品ですが、アニメではミカコとノボルの二人の間のみの展開でしたが、コミカライズ版では登場人物も若干増え、ストーリーにも奥行きが出た感じで購読した甲斐がありました。他の方のレビューにも記述がるようにラストに希望が持てる内容になっているのも自分としては良かったと感じられます。

  I watched the anime version quite a while ago, but it was a work that left an impression on me in spite of its short content at the time. Needless to say, this is the first theatrical release film directed by Makoto Shinkai, but in the anime, it was developed only between Mikako and Novolu, but in the comicalized version, the number of characters also increased slightly, and it felt like the story had more depth, so it was worth subscribing. I also feel that it was good for me that the content was hopeful at the end, as described in other people's reviews.

  切ない・・
  sad...
  ずっと前から気になっていたので購入しました。独特の世界観で切なさがヒシヒシと伝わるようでした。

  I've been interested in it for a long time, so I bought it. The unique view of the world seemed to convey a sense of sadness.
