Manga-Updates Summary: At the age of sixteen, you've lived for about 6000 days... For how many of them were you truly honest? Tomoko regrets that when she was a teen, she didn't confess to the boy she loved and he was taken by another girl. When she gets hit by a car, she gets the chance to watch her past unfold again, and maybe even change it.
My Review:
The art isn’t the prettiest (was drawn in ’92), but it’s not horrible. The story kept me reading, and I think the art gives it a nice touch for the story it tells.
I really liked the idea of this, because I actually know someone who did something similar (…not the ‘time travel’ thing, but the whole regret over a loved one thing). This story is really sad (I normally avoid too much of that), but also really enjoyable. You can definitely learn something from it. I, not particularly one for tragic endings, was quite happy with the ending of this.
