幸せな時間―耳をすませば

Mimi wo Sumaseba #2

by HIIRAGI AOI

A sequel to the manga that was made into a movie, "Shiawase na Jikan" is comprised of two stories. The first is a continuation of the first book, two years into the future, and Shizuku is now preparing for her entrance exams. The second story, "Kikyou no Saku Koko" (The Blooming of the Balloon Flowers), is an unrelated original story. Tsuge Takayuki is a normal college boy, who, one day, sees a girl admiring the flowers in his front yard, and was reminded of a girl who stood by the flowers one year ago, crying in the rain. He falls in love with her, but will her injured heart accept his feelings?

This volume contains two stories, the first was a short sequel/side story from the first Mimi wo Sumaseba. The second, longer, and better story was the very cute and sweet story of Kikyou no Saku Koko.

「耳をすませば」の大ファンだから、好きだった。けど、「幸せな時間」は短かった。65ページしかなかった。でも「桔梗の咲く頃」もすき、青春な漫画だな。
I'm a big fan of Whisper of the Heart, so I liked it. But the second instalment to it was really short. The second part of the manga was quite enjoyable though, a very youthful story.

The Whisper of the Heart "sequel" here is just kind of messy. Back and forth with "dreams" into reality and kind of just a nonsensical story.

The unrelated one-shot that comprised the rest of the book was alright. Pretty standard high school love story between two decent kiddos.

This contains two stories:

1) An extention of the story in Whisper of the Heart.

2) A romance story between a girl who once appeared in front of a boy's garden.

I liked both of them, the second story a bit more though. The humour in her stories works really work for me.

It was sweet! Nothing crazy special, but it did warm my heart and it was nice to continue the story a bit past the OG Whisper of the Heart movie.

A sequência de Whisper of the heart de Aoi Hiiragi, que contém dois capítulos. No primeiro, é a continuação do primeiro volume, em que Shizuku e seus amigos estão se preparando para a universidade e se emocionam ao visualizar seu futuro juntos independentemente deles irem para o mesmo lugar ou não.
No segundo, e último, apresenta novos personagens. Um rapaz se apaixona por uma garota que vê pela janela no meio da chuva olhando as flores kikyou. Mais tarde, ele a vê e decide construir uma amizade – e talvez, eventualmente, um namoro.
Enquanto eu não tenha sentido que muito tenha acontecido na primeira história, eu gostei do que a mangaka conseguiu apresentar no segundo capítulo. A segunda história é sobre como encontrar amor em situações inesperadas, em como é necessário coragem para se permitir se apaixonar novamente e como relacionamentos são construídos aos poucos e com parcimônia e comunicação.
