The plot devices are clearly manipulative, and the problems you mentioned about Menma are spot on - they make the series almost like a chick-flick.

On the other hand, I think many of us enjoy the series for its human interactions. I think whether one will ultimately enjoys this series really comes down to which aspect of the show is more important to you.

As a side note, I found Colorful unbearable - just a personal opinion.
