Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso [Manga]

[anonfr]

Found the letter Kaori wrote to Arima.

Is it bad to post? Meh.

Spoiler for Letter.:

Dear Arima Kousei,
It feels weird writing a letter to someone you were just with…
You’re the worst.
Indecisive. Gullible. Twit.
The first time I ever saw you perform, I was 5 years old. It was at a recital for the piano school I was attending. This awkward, clumsy kid came onto the stage and accidentally knocked over the piano stool with his butt. It was too funny. Then he turned to the piano and it was way too big for him, but the moment he played that first note, I was drawn in.
The sound was beautiful, like a 24-colour palette. The melodies danced. The girl next to me burst into tears; I wasn’t expecting that at all.
And even so, you gave up the piano. Despite how much it would affect other people’s lives. You really are the worst. You indecisive. Gullible. Twit.
(Cut to Kaori as a kid, telling her parents she’s giving up piano for violin because she wants to have Kousei play piano again.)
When I found out we were in the same middle school, I was ecstatic. But how would I ever come to talk to you?… Maybe I’d hang out at the lunch concession and hope to bump into you. In the end, I just watched you from afar.
I mean. After all. The three of you got along so well. There wasn’t really any space in there for someone like me, was there.
When I was a kid, I had to have an operation and I started having to be at the hospital for regular check-ups. In the first year of middle school, I collapsed and I had to be admitted several times. With every visit, I was there for longer and longer. Really, I didn’t get to class much in middle school, I spent more time at the hospital. And I knew something was wrong with my body.
One night, I saw my parents crying in the waiting room and I knew that my time was running out.
That’s when I ran away.
I didn’t want to have any regrets following me to heaven, so I stopped holding back from what the things I had always wanted to do. I got over my fear of getting contact lenses. I ate what I wanted instead of always worrying about my weight. And I took the music that always tried to tell me what to do and played it the way *I* wanted.
And then I told a lie. Just one.
I lied and said that I, Miyazono Kaori, liked Watari Ryouta.
And that lie brought you to me.
Please apologize to Watari for me. Though I’m sure he’ll forgot about me before too long, I think I just needed someone more wholehearted and earnest than him. I think we would have been fine as friends though.
Please apologize to Tsubaki for me too. I want for there to be no hard feelings. The one thing I could never directly ask of her was to introduce the two of us. I don’t think she would’ve known what to say to that. After all, she loves you so much. We all knew that. I think the only people who didn’t know were you and her.
That underhanded lie brought a completely different you than I had imagined.
It was darker, gloomier you. Meaner. Denser. And more stubborn. And more perverted.
But softer, too. And more masculine. And sweeter.
Remember that bridge we jumped off? The water was so cool and refreshing. Racing each other alongside the train. I really thought I could win. The moon was saw from the music room that night, like a delicious-looking bun in the sky. Singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with you as we rode on that bike together. Then falling out of time. We’re awful singers. At the school at night. I’m still sure there was something there. The falling snow, just like cherry blossoms.
It’s strange to be a performance musician, but then to have your heart so filled up by things that don’t come from the stage.
They’re unforgettable scenes to me. But they’re such little things. It’s weird, isn’t it?
What do you think? Do you think I filled anyone’s heart like that? I wonder if I made it into yours. I wonder if you’ll still remember me.
If you forget about me, I don’t want to have to come back and start over. So please don’t forget me. Promise me you won’t forget me.
I’m glad it was you.
I hope this reaches you, Arima Kousei.
I love you. I love you. I love you.
I’m sorry we couldn’t eat all those canelés. I’m sorry I hit you so much. I’m sorry I was so selfish.
I am so, so, so, so sorry.
Thank you for everything.
Miyazono Kaori
P.S. If you look in the envelope, I left you my most prized possession. If you don’t need it, it’s okay to toss it out.

uhg. Tears.

Also, I think Tsubaki says for Kousei not to think he'll ever be alone cause she'll always be lurking around like some kind of vengeful spirit?

Spoiler for Ch. 44:

Now see, THIS is a manga that handled the death of the female lead well. It was developed, expected to happen, and didn't come out of completely fucking nowhere.

That's really moving tbh. Even poignant. I was kinda down on the ending because I think it was laying it so thick it was really telegraphed, but I've changed my mind a little because it created a little of, you're hoping for love to conquer all despite all odds, and the thicker it was laying it the more you were hoping, that kinda effect.

Still think it was laying it too thick and melodramatic though. :P

I would be disgusted if Kousei rebounded with Tsubaki though. She has zero interest in music, and she has shown to be incredibly petty just because she is afraid of Kousei moving away from her.

Then who should Kousei rebound with? Emi?

(I'm ruling out Nagi... but actually, 2 years isn't that big of a gap - isn't Nagi 12 and Kouse 14?)

[for3ver]

Well we expected it.. but still... the final lines on the last pages were "soon, spring will come", "the spring where i met you", "the spring where your no longer here". And, we all get the meaning of the black cat right?

[Oboro]

This manga is an illogical trainwreck

Spoiler:

of course not only for kaori's death but about the whole story. the author search the overdrama and nothing more.

Kaori's letter at the end is a nonsense, if you love someone you bring your secret with you into the grave, you don't give him more pain.

now let's see what happened at the end of this manga?

- watari, that it seems to like kaori, was used to let kaori come close to Arima and used as a wall between arima and kaori itself
-tsubaki is the second choice, she was never able to help Arima since childhood, she couln't do what kaori do in lesser than a year, Arima don't love her. will he do eventually with the pain into the heart about the kaori loss? happy life as a second choice, gratz tsubaki.
- kaori, obv is dead after suffering a lot
- Arima, he was beaten by his mother during the childhood he never fully lived for the pianist career, then his mother dies and he becomes like an amoeba and coudn't play piano any more. Eventually he find a girl, he start to live again, for the power of the love he feels, but that girl, couse she know she's dying, to don't let Arima suffer about her loss, act like she didn't like arima but his friend watari. BUT she change her mind so after she is dead she confess everything to Arima with a letter, so letting Arima suffer more and more about his love loss and what could really happen if she didn't die: she really Love Arima. Arima is the most unlucky char ever seen in a manga, he probably will live in regret or just kill himself.

It was a pity it was a good manga, since the very last chapters, the presence of so many death flag let you hope that coudn't be a so cruel drama at the end and the author is just teasing the reader, obv not an happy end but something bitter sweet than this mess, but it wasn't like that, just a depressing Ntr festival for every char.
The author overdrama for the lack of ideas, ovb you could let kaori die but at least do it in a clever way so your story could leave a message to the reader

what's the message of the whole story? that life stinks?

Wow. That's cynical. It's like you didn't even see the final chapter. Or get the overall "Tone" of the series at all.

[Freeter]

Kousei gets with Emi, names his daughter Kaori, she becomes the MC in a sequel.

There should be an omake where they take her to see the Peanuts movie

What? Why does he have to rebound with anyone?

I think it's insulting to both the girl and the person in question to have to need to enter a relationship to cope with loss.

not cynical but the true, you may disagree obv, i don't know how what i wrote is wrong 'couse those are simple facts, but is up to you.

I've read the last chapter and i get the overall tone of the series, and those are the results
I really don't care about fanwankin about who's the Arima second choice in Arima pitiful life to come, couse we'll never know
We could know something if the next april ova, the one out with the last tankobon, give us some Canon-not-fanwaning answer, btw in my tastes it will be a bigger nonsense wait for an happy Arima sometime later lovey-dovey with someone, it will be the last coffin nail in this overdrama trainwreck, i could expect as result of the drama so far only Arima having some dope in a station toilet then hang himself whistling Kreisler's Liebesfreud (Love's Joy).

Your opinions are fact ? Wow. Okay no, you took the facts and looked at them from the most cynical perspective. Yeah, if someone you loved dies it can make you depressed or suicidal, that's not what happened in this series. To get it out of the way I don't really care about shipping or who he ends up with much either. But,what I have issue with is that you said Kousei will probably live in regret or kill himself. That just completely contradicts the ending and the tone in the overall series. Kousei's response is that he'll never forget Kaori and he'll live for both of them. He's happy to have known her at all and he found the courage to move on in life instead of being frozen like he was at the beginning of the series.

It's like your bashing just to bash, and changing the context to its most negative light. Cynical. So, so cynical.

i didn't express my opinion, i just list what happened, those are facts not my opinions

my opinon is that the author lose his mind at the end and go into an illogical nonsense overdrama (kaori do everything to don't let arima suffer but in the and she "kills" him with the letter? illogical but everything for cheap drama so ppl cry)

Your opinions are that Arima is happy in the end, couse he move, nice to you, is much more cynical in this way imho
after he lost his mother and his beloved Kaori , be JUST happy about movin on in a pianist career, happy to have meet kaori, who cares the trail of death and suffering
who cares, i'm growing, isn't it THIS cynical?

Btw i didn't feel any Arima happiness at all, even when tsubaki said him that her will be like a spirit near Arima and he's not alone, he was very sad and i don't feel any happiness within the last word about "the april coming without her" He lost his love he couldn't be happy. this Just to show you that i read the whole work, unlike you said your last post Just to minimize my thougts, a cheap way to discuss usually, used in the board.

I know that ppl need some overdrama and they are fine, i'm not judging the tastes and the reasons, i like drama too, but the one well written and the one that don't overdrama in a silly way to gain cheap tears in a cheap way (key can do well written drama for exemple, or keep in mind Seo lot of drama in seo's mangas but the drama is FOR the story, he kills also the main heroine in 30 chap in fuuka but the drama isn't just the dying ppl and suffering, there is a lot more) and i know also that some author need to shock the audience to let ppl discuss, like you and me, about their work and have nice contracts in their next works to come, this is the market, sadly.
but Shigatsu is Just an overdrama, the author exceed in drama the whole sense is just drama, as i told i did not expect an happy ending, but a far better one, and clever one than Arima like a buldozer to move on, also if everything collapse around him, this is a cheap way to end a story.

Really what is too cynical in the tragedy about the deaths around Arima? About the bitter end for every char ?
You apostrophize me, that i read the whole story into a too cynical and dark way, coundn't be you that see this mess in lighter way?

so in your opinion, this is a beautifull drama 'couse "Arima move on" and grow and answer me what was the price for be,in your opinion "happy"?
what if not being hit by his mother and losing is childhood to become a genius pianist, stop playing after her death, become brainwashed and in the end when he see some light and hope: boom! the loss of his very first love? what a shitty life Arima Kousei. nice to be you that you could be so happy.

Really? nice to be you too anonfr, far more cynical than me.

Gotta agree that you probably didn't get the point of the story and stuck to the idea that people who loose loved ones cannot move on or should try to follow them to the grave,not everyone are built like that,and Kaori already helped Kousei to move on after his mother's death i.e to let time flow again by making him play the piano again,as with his mother,playing the piano allowed him to move on and for him not to forget both of them.But how the heck did Kaori killed Kousei with her letter?It made him stronger I think.

nope that isn't my thought, everyone loose someone and everyone need to move on, obv i'm talking about real life, not only about mangas

Couse there aren't any reason at all to show Arima the "Uso" from the title, not only for the consistency of what she have done before the surgery, but becouse the only outcome after she is dead will be let him suffer more showing that the girl he loved, in his thought one way loved, was really loving him.
At the end this is, in my opinon, a cheap way to let the reader cry and suffer about it, about how Arima could be suffering while reading it

Well, you said it better than I did. I think it made him stronger too. To me, the story was sad, but it was also pretty uplifting. Finding yourself and the joy in the things you love to help you cope through life. I really liked Kaori's letter too.

Alright everyone should calm down.

The ending of manga now really reminded me of the Chinese song I used to listen to, Tong hua .

No one. He's 14, he has whole life before him to find new love.
